@Bellatrix Especially if there are pre-reqs involved you don’t want to choose the wrong course and then find out you can’t do courses you need to do because you missed out on doing xxx.
This is exactly why I was going to take English. I was worried that I would have to do a certain course next year and then not be able to because I don’t have a English credit. Then it dawned on me.. Obviously the only prerequisites for psych are going to be other psych programs, right? The only reason why I would need an English as a prerequisite is if I wanted to take a year 2 English next year! Total epiphany right there. So unless I want to take a English course next year which I will never want to, boring! I won’t need one this year. Right?
I hope so, because I have called the student success office so many times and can never get a hold of them. Classes are filling up really fast, and I may have to make a decision on my own if I can’t make an appointment with an academic adviser soon.
@johnpowell In high school I always hated English because I found it very boring, and mostly common sense. I was usually an 85% and sometimes above average student. For some reason I always got very high marks in English though. I wouldn’t put any effort in the class, but always got good marks, especially in essays. I guess you could say they are my strong-suit. I remember when we had to write a 6 page essay on The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. I didn’t read the book or pay attention in class, and did the essay the night before it was due. I know this is very bad, and I have not done that before or since. Anyways, my friend worked on it for hours every night for 3 weeks. Long story short, I got 13% higher than her on it. I felt kind of guilty, because she deserved a better mark than me..
That being said, I feel competent enough in writing and such without needing to take english in uni, but you never know. Maybe I should?
