Hello,
I am doing a one year Master’s program in Anthropology with no intension of carrying on to a PhD. I admit I hate reading! I have some flexability in my course selection so basically I am looking for any grad level social sciences course (@ St.George) light on the reading factor. Any ideas?
Sincerly,

Unfortunately, I don’t have a real calendar for graduate courses to read, much less direct you to, so this post is going to be basically useless to you. But most department websites will have pretty detailed descriptions of their courses, so you can browse through those and pitch taking them to your department.
Also, do make sure taking courses from other departments is allowed. It’d suck if you took something and Anthro said it wouldn’t count toward your degree.
But to be completely honest, I really don’t think you’ll find anything with “light” reading. I mean really, these are graduate level courses. 400-level courses are packed with reading as it is, so I really don’t think courses for Master’s students will be any lighter or be able to deemed “light.” Granted, take a look at other course descriptions and see what you consider to be light.
Anyhow, don’t get your hopes too high on this search. Again, these are grad courses, so if they were “easy,” something wouldn’t be right with that program…
Best,
