I haven't taken any of the english courses. I know 199 is supposed to be very writing intensive. People often say it is a great course for preparing you for later english courses though.
Otherwise of the others I would suggest taking whatever ones you are most interested in. Being interested in the subject of a course will go a long way towards making it seem easier. So pick what you like most from fiction, poetry, drama, prose genres, and literature/culture.
In 199, we did a summary writing essay, a strange amiguous essay, a more straight forward topic essay, but in each of the essay we were incorporating one aspect of writing, and we learn basically about essay writing, and things like fallacies in writing. And we incorporate everything we learn into a final essay worth 25%. There was also a midterm exam. Well that's what we did last fall at surrey
