legal studies major bird courses 0 points, 2 comments

“I'm an upper year student just looking to fulfill my requirements with a few courses. What would be easy courses to take for someone with an LS major background?”

[deleted]: “I'm currently taking History of Ancient Law (LS 235; also cross-listed as CLAS 210 and HIST 210) taught by Daniel Hutter. It has 4 multiple-choice tests and no papers, midterm nor final. For me it's quite easy since I hate writing essays, but some may disagree with me on that.”
