i dont know what colleges all of you went to, but at the university of 
pittsburgh it was fairly easy for someone who had to take liberal arts courses
for general requirements but wasnt very interested to find out what courses
were "easiest".  there was no clear break like there was in the sciences, but
all you had to do was ask around.  "intro shakespeare?  well, if you can take
it with professor jones, it's easy..."  "no, avoid that psych course, they
make you WORK at it!"

the course discriptions didnt list it, but there was a clear difference in
difficulty among liberal arts courses, too.  i had sort of assumed this
thing went on everywhere...?
