  • I heard IAT 103W is super easy, im taking it this semester. That's if you just need a W class, not sure about ENGL.
  • ENG TAs mark their essays really hard, just a warning. Especially if you are first year, you probably won't be used to the nitpicking that the TAs do...unless you are a strong writer yourself or really NEED those courses for your program, then take it.

    Also there's going to be a lot of dissecting other people's work and analyzing certain poems, scripts, essays on how its written, etc

    From my experience, I've taken 102 and 104 and ended up with the same mark, but 104's content was so much more interesting and the prof was better. 102 was just a bunch of bull crap about poems that are way too ambiguous to analyze  lol! Idk, personally, I'd take other courses for gpa booster (crim 101, ling 100, etc) because they really do expect a lot and mark quite strictly on your essays.
  • I prefer ENGL 103W. I took it this semester, and it is pretty easy. Well it requires the least reading of all the other english courses.
