Hey I am a MIS major, will be graduating next semester, only have 3 classes to take and I need one more 3 credit class to be a full time student. I want something semi entertaining but not difficult and not time consuming. What would be a class to take?

I took Art 130 or 140 (whichever one Drawing I is) just for the heck of it my last semester, it was pretty fun. All the people in the class were first year students but me so they were taking it oh so seriously while I just goofed around. I actually turned out to be pretty decent at drawing by the end of the semester. The classed turned out to be a lot of work, but it was one of the most enjoyable classes I ended up taking at ISU.

It is interesting and very easy. Good lectures, tests are right out of the book and there are plenty of extra credit opportunities. It is all stuff that is good to know for the rest of your life.

I got a B+ in Poli Sci 215 and I only went to one lecture - the first day. That class is totally cake.

Politics of Women. Literally the easiest class ever given at ISU. No tests, quizes, or homework. You go you get an A.

Easy and entertaining? I'd say take a Psych class.

I didn't get to take many classes outside Engineering, but I really enjoyed Psych classes, they were interesting, and they were easy classes that you didn't need to worry about attending very often if you didn't want to.

Plus there were alot of hot girls in Psych classes.

MGMT 415 -> The easiest class I ever took. I spent a total of about 3 man hours on this class. That includes going to class (only have to go about 4 times all semester), working on presentation, and giving presentation. As long as you take the class it is an A guarantee.

American Indian Studies (I forget the number) was the easiest class I took at ISU. We watched something like 12 movies in class, had to write a 1-2 page report on 8 of the 12 (our choice which ones) and had a final.

Music 104 the history of rock and roll a great class just show up.

I took that too and liked it. Also, there was a film history class I took as a senior that was pretty cool. Don't recall the number but basically you just watch movies and discuss them in class.

Take some 100 level Exercise and Sports Science classes. I took Tae Kwon Do and Tennis my last year at ISU.

I took 1 Philosophy class that was absolutely cake, and somewhat interesting. I think it was Phil 206 Introduction to Logic and Scientific Reasoning. We filled out workbook pages for our homework and the test questions were pretty much taken from the workbook pages. It was a lot of "If A happens, then B happens. We know B happened, what do we know?" and similar type of questions.

I had Dr Politics teach it, and by not attending class (and missing half a test) I barely came out with a C.

I'd hit up the Psych department 101, 230, 280 all interesting and easy with lots of ladies. I ended up with a psych minor (with an eng degree) because I enjoyed it so much.
