Playing Games: A Gateway to the Middle East and South Asia is the easiest class I have ever taken during my time at UVA. Samhita has structured this to be a class that prioritizes interest in the subject over grades, and considering this fulfills a second writing requirement, there was very little writing involved. I was never interested in games, but honestly it ended up being mildly more interesting that I anticipated (not by much, though)! Overall, if you're looking for the easiest A of your entire life where all you have to do is show up to lecture, take this. Samhita is a very kind human and the class is not horrid.
