I just graduated from Mount Vernon High school on June 15, 2012. I need to take this following classes for Fall Semester.
Biology 101
Math 152
History 121
ENG 111. I need to get at least C in every class for me to keep getting Grants to attend nova. Anyone Know Easy Teachers that give good grades? I know Ms.Foo GIVES EASY A'S any others?

As a former MV'er from the 1980's I can tell you right now you are attending the college that is meant for that shit hole of a school. MV has gone straight to the shit can and NOVA is the perfect place for any of its' graduates. I can see from your verbal skills in your second sentence that your ENG class at NOVA should be less than the 100 series.
Let me correct you on it. It should read as:
I need to take these following classes for the Fall Semester:
You have other grammatical errors but I am just too tired to explain anymore.

All of the teachers give good grades, they also give bad grades. It all depends on what you deserve. The 100 series classes are the most basic and easiest classes in college. Maybe you should ask yourself, "what changes do I need to make in order to pass these very basic classes?"

If you are asking this question, you need to ask yourself why you are going to college. If you want easy and mindless, try practicing the following: "Do you want that with fries?"

There are websites that you can check to see which teachers are easier, some of them cost money but there is one big site that is free, it is ratemyprofessor.com. Its definitely the most comprehensive. The more reviews a professor has, the better idea you will get if that is someone you want to take or not.
Obviously a lot of the posters don't understand that one professor can give you an A for the same amount of work while another can give you a C. In modern college, grades are dependent almost entirely on the professor because the schools leave it up to the teacher to create the curriculum, unlike in public school. My guess is that most of the posters above went to college/university when blacks and whites were still segregated. This would also explain their anger with an infidel dog getting a higher education.

Ratemyprofessors.com - best way to decide which teacher is right for you. Biology will be difficult, no matter who teaches it.

After that, major in elementary education. Easiest courses on in college and presents no academic challenge whatsoever.

A J1 visa is for cultural and educational exchanges such as visiting scholars or high school students who come to the U.S. for a year to study. Au pairs also have J1 visas.
Foreign students persuing degrees at American colleges have F1 visas. Except for part-time work such as lab or library assistant at the school they attend, F1 students cannot work in the U.S. -- there are a couple of exceptions to this, but essentially if an F1 holder is working, he or she will be deported. They are also ineligible for any kind of U.S. financial aid, such as Pell grants, which the OP is probably referring to. In fact, to get an F1 visa, the student must prove to a Consular Office in his/her native country that he or she has the financial resources to cover all of his/her expenses while studying in the U.S.
Hope this explodes a few myths.
To the OP, here's a novel approach to your situation...Do the work!! If you do, you should do well, and have nothing to worry about with respect to your grades. If you don't you'll fail. Whether it's Harvard or your local community college, you're entering into a system where you don't have to be (college is not compulsory like High School) and it's your responsibility to stay in. You might find an "easy" instructor for Bio 101 (unlikely, but for argument's sake), but you'll discover to your horror that the same instructor doesn't teach the second lab science course you need to take. You might get through your first year, but fluke out in the second, because you didn't adequately prepare. A lenient professor who grades "liberally" is not doing you any favors.

I remember when MV and Ft Hunt (no longer around) were great schools and great communities, back in the late 70's and early 80's.
Also had great sports like football and wrestling.
Don't know much about them now, but it sounds like (according to former MV'er) that MV isn't so good anymore?

MUS 140 is an easy class. You get to play around in pro tools and get an A for doing so.

The problem is that the State Department routinely issues J1 visas to get around the restrictions on guest workers. There is no educational or cultural exchange. It's a scam. It's been in the news repeatedly. Guess you missed the Hershey, Pa packing plant walkout that was all over the news. Hope that clears it up for you.

take Dr. Henthorne for Biology. Her class is the easiest! Seriously, lecture is optional most of the time and the labs you pretty much show up to and you get an A. Hope that helps

All classes are easy at NOVA and Mason. Try going to a real school like Tech or UVA or don't go at all. Otherwise, you are just throwing your money away. A college degree doesn't mean what it used to mean because of people taking easy classes at an easy school like the OP here.

The word fall is capitalized because he is using it as a title, but when generally speaking you do not capitalize seasons.
