Super easy and if you are given the opportunity, choose Carmen Pacheco as your professor. Her class was very interesting in comparison to other First Year Seminar classes I've hear about.

We wrote two essays and both were graded very lightly. We also did a few labs and even though the instructions were not clear, the assignment was also graded lightly.

Professor Pacheco was very kind and shared a lot of her personal experience. She does require everyone to participate even if the ideas aren't ground-breaking she will give you credit if you speak up.
