since this post is almost a day old already, i'll let you in on the secret best 2 credit class at UofM.

Contemplative Studies

I don't exactly remember the course name, but it meets once a week for 2 hours in the evening way out past Baits 1 on north campus. It's a class on meditation and is an automatic A. You show up, do things like journaling, chakra tai chi, meditation, walk around outside, etc, and talk about it as a small group while sitting on beanbag chairs. We once had to meditate outside for 20 minutes. I feel asleep and woke up an hour later, walked right back into the class and nobody batted an eye.

To get into the course you have to fill out some surveys and email the professor, but it was so good. I actually got lots out of it that I still use today, and it was an easy A. Especially if you're already on north campus for things or have a car to drive there.
