For me, easiest is Astronomy. Unlike the other classes, you have 3 tries to get things correct except for with quizzes and the final exam. The other classes are more "realistic" in that you only get one shot to get things right. I think the Astronomy way gives me more of a chance to actually learn, though, as well as making it easier.
Health & Wellness is probably the hardest, even though I had thought it would be one of the easiest. There is a lot of extra reading. And you have to make 4 posts on the discussion board each week for credit.
Similarly with human origins. Week 1 was also super boring. I am hoping that it will get more interesting, but the Cerego cards make me doubt that it will. There are a lot more human ancestors and human cousins than I thought and it appears that you have to learn the Latin names and origins of each one. I'm not saying that this doesn't make sense, but it's not very exciting learning either.
Western Civ doesn't seem to be focused on exact dates *knock on wood*, only in knowing which thing happened first and which thing happened second. If the course continues along in this vein, I will be very happy. I like history but trying to remember exact dates for things is frustrating and challenging.
So, IMO, the easiest ones are Astronomy and Western Civilization.
