English Prerequisite

[Guest s sadry]

hello,

 

i'm trying to fulfill the english prerequisite this summer..

 

do you know if most schools are looking for 1 year of english, no matter how its derived...or specifically, 1 year of FIRST YEAR ENGLISH. is it expository writing or literature?

 

my plan was to take a 100 level half course in effective writing this summer, and then a 200 level half course in literature next summer. does anyone know if this would be suitable for most schools?

 

i figure this way, i would have the expository and literature covered...i'm not sure though if it is "FIRST YEAR ENGLISH" they are looking for or "1 YEAR OF ENGLISH". i don't want taking a 200 level half credit to be an issue.

 

thanks.

I am pretty sure it's "1 YEAR of ENGLISH". You can take it however you want!

okay. has anyone had an experience where their english credit has not been recognized for some reason ?? (eg: not 1 full year literature, or expository, or 1 half credit in 1st yera course, 2nd half credit in 2nd year course etc. etc.)

I can't remember if it is Manitobe or Saskatchewan, but one of those is a stickler for having an English literature class (assuming you want to keep Canadian schools an option). But I doubt the level of the course matters.

I don't think it would be an issue even if it's a 200 level course. I took a half year writing course and half a year of literature. I didn't have a problem with any school in the US.
