What's the laziest course offered at ANU?

Was your friend by any chance hoping to be President of ANUSA?

Many years ago at another university I was in a toilet, and above the toilet paper someone had written “ANU Arts degrees, please take one”.

hahahaha gokiburi I know who you are or who you are pretending to be. I have taken your course and would highly recommend it especially if you are holding it over 2 weekends like you did when I took it. Not sure if I would call it a bludge course though but it was GREAT.

With no pre-reqs? Well I guess you’d have to look at 1st year undergrad subjects. I saw Legal Theory mentioned above, when I took it I struggled with the subject, purely because I thought it was a load of crap. As a practicing lawyer now, I’ve never once put it to the court to consider the underlying philisophy of why my client opted to do what he did. I can imagine it though – “Your honour, my client’s internal morality clashed with the morality of those who created the law in question, so whilst the law as set was breached, to my client the law was invalid and should not be punished”. Their answer would be “but the law is set, and it was breached knowingly”.

Film studies, I did that in my first year. Yes, it’s pretty easy. Watch one film a week, talk about it (or not talk about it, just show up to the tuts).

The “easiest” courses I ever took would be the preliminary course for my Graduate DIploma of Laws, or the Criminal elective. The former requires showing up, and a simple comprehension exercise. The latter goes for about 5 days total, and you write a 500 word “court report”. Easy.

However I was SHOCKED with my Masters of Law. See, you don’t need an undergraduate degree in law to do the masters. For this reason the “Master Law Subjects” are taught in a way suitable for those whom have never done law before. What does this mean? They’re easier than the undergraduate subjects. So if you have an Undergrad Law Degree, do the Masters, because you already know the material they’re going to teach, and you’ll get higher marks.

yep COMP1710 is pretty easy but do note it is scaled so the website you have to make at the end of the semester will be graded according to how well others have done on it.

Of course if you do this for a living, should be a breeze.

Anything to do with “complimentary medicine”. There can be no wrong answers.

I dunno, it can be pretty hard to make a pill say, “Wow, you look great today!”

I could get you a couple 😉
