Do banks ACTUALLY look at the courses you take?

I have an SA position in the city this summer but am wondering how I should go about choosing courses for next semester, my senior year. I have a few free elective courses left over and want to take an easy class to lighten my courseload, such as Management 101 or Marketing 101.

Will this choice hurt me in the long run (i.e. getting a FT offer at this or another bank)?

If you got a SA position, do well and you wont need to ever show them your resume again for a FT.

for other banks, ofc your resume will matter and people will take note of classes you take.

but SA at a bank tells the resume reviewer alot more than classes u took
