I took "Guns and Boats" since it was a required part of the NROTC program when I was at Duke - in the 1960's. It was neither easy nor quite as rigorous as the engineering courses I was taking. But I did have to work.

Beyond that, it didn't matter whether it was easy or hard. The university did not count the hours towards my degree requirement. I took it because the Navy required it, but it didn't move me any closer to graduation. That's very different than the current situation at UNC where it appears the course is part of the system that's in place to support eligibility requirements.
