Hi,

I'm looking for some advice on which first year electives to take at Laurier BBA. I've got most of them down, but I'm trying to decide between TWO of AS101, GG102, and PP201 online.
Any feedback? I'd like to take the easiest ones haha, let me know if you've taken any of these courses and how they went. Thanks!

Additional questions:
I heard AS101 was easy, but I did not take any grade 12 sciences. I don't feel I'm strong at sciences either. Would this course be hard for me?

Descriptions of all 3 courses and the difficulty of them would really help :)

AS101: "An introduction to the science of astronomy, the process by which we develop astronomical principles and the application of these techniques to gain a modern understanding of our Solar System. Topics covered include the historical development of astronomy, understanding the night sky, Newton's law of gravitation, light and telescopes, and a detailed study of the Solar System. New data from recent explorations of Mars, Saturn and other celestial objects will be discussed." Astronomy

I know of one close friend who took this class and failed (BA Pysch major). Many others say this class is pretty straight forward, although there is some math involved, which should be a breeze for a Biz kid. You can look at Fall 2011 lecture slides for the class Here!

GG102: "This course provides an introduction to human geography. Topics include population and development, cartography and GIS, economic geography, cultural geography and political geography. In laboratory exercises, students learn methods and techniques used by geographers." Geography

I've heard this is the easier of the two geographies (I took gg101), that being said this semester was a nightmare for people. It's hit or miss on the professor, some are helpful and straightforward... Some are very rude and arrogant.

PP201: "The course provides tools for the analysis of reasoning and the construction and evaluation of arguments. Examples from newspaper articles and theoretical discussions of science and social policy will be discussed." Philosophy

Your typical second year philosophy class, 60-100 students + 25 student tutorials. Actually unaware we had this class, I would have taken it over PP111.
