Unbelievably easy and extremely nice; you get out early every day. Two field trips (followed up with easy in-class assignments) and a daily journal -- that's it! I had the summer course, so she dropped the research paper and gave us a FREE certification course in 'Nonviolent Crisis Intervention' ($400 value)... you can't beat that.
