Disclaimer: ANU Observer does not take responsibility for courses picked by ANU students. Data collated for this article is purely subjective based and students should always do their own research and check course requirements before enrolling.
As the exam block has come to an end and course enrollment for next semester begins, you might find yourself thinking; what course can I fill my elective space with that doesn’t have an overwhelming amount of work?
ANU Observer reached out and asked students what they found to be a relatively straight forward course based on the following criteria.
Components of an ‘easy course’, as described in the anonymous survey include, no tutorial participation, well spread out course work, good course structure, no final exam that needs to be taken. Often as students finish their degrees and have spare electives, they look to fill their degree program with “easy” courses.
The subjects listed do not all include the component’s listed above. Observer recommends doing your own research and cross checking with your degree requirements before enrolling into courses.
Most of the courses listed below are all courses expected to run semester 2 of this year.
