Easy Classes at Texas A&M: Lightest Workload Courses: FAQ

How this is ranked

Ranked by time investment, lowest first: how much outside work students report.

Scores run 0 to 100 and come from student ratings, aggregated across the web where we have them and from reviews written here otherwise. Courses with too few ratings aren't ranked. Each score is adjusted for how many ratings back it: a class with only a few is pulled toward the school average, so its score here can differ a little from its course page. Each row shows how many ratings back it. Graduate-level classes, peer mentor, practicum, independent study, internship and research sections, labs and one-credit courses are left out.
