    I took eng 103 and 105. Were pretty easy and honestly, they were fun. Ended up with b+ In both. It's mainly three or four essays and some quizzes in tutorial
  • syc
    Thanks. I will do more search before I take english course and hopefully I will be fine
  • mangosfu
    I took Eng 103 and Phil xx1.

    If you're good at analysis/making up your own theories in the essays, then you'll find Eng 103 easier and enjoyable.

    Phil xx1 is easy if you're good at remembering formulas; however the wording can be tricky.
    Eg: All mothers are female does not equal All females are mothers. (except this will be in a formula, not in words)

    @mangosfu Damn. I'm scared for xx1 :( not sure if I should take it.
  • crimematic
    XX1 is just one of those classes that you either get or you don't, there is no middle ground 
  • BeAnBeAnBeAnBeAn
    @crimematic Would you recommend it to be better suited for a summer course. So you can concentrate your studying on it more.
  • crimematic
    I took it over the summer with CRIM 104 and KIN 140 and ended up with a B due to curving. I didn't find it that bad but a lot of people really struggled. If you are going to take it do it with Heide, not McIntosh or Katz 
  • syc
    Thx a lot. I'm going to take philxx1 for next semester. I will see if Heide teach this course.
  • BeAnBeAnBeAnBeAn
    @syc He does. Wanna be friends if I end up taking it?
  • syc
    why not

    Hi guys,

    What do you think about taking two Engl requirements at the same time?
    I am considering Engl103W and WL 101W.
    Do you know anything about WL? English is my second language and 
    I prefer less writing and more memorization.

    Thanks!

    @syc only if you're hot
  • gloria

  • BeAnBeAnBeAnBeAn
