Help!: English Courses

[pageandquill]

I am planning to graduate with a BA English from TESC. But I'm having a hard time deciding what courses to take, especially to fulfill UL requirements. Although I don't want too many courses, I am willing to take about six courses to be able to study what interests me.

Basically, I'm wondering what experiences you may have with classes from TESC, BYU, LSU, and possibly Regents University. Right now the courses that most interest me are One Writer's Vision: Jane Austen, Non-western Lit, and Liberal Arts Capstone from TESC; Creative Writing (LL), Writing Poetry, or Writing Creative Nonfiction (LL) from BYU; Descriptive Grammar of the English Language from LSU; and The Art of the Essay, British Romantics, The Religious Imagination in American Lit, or American Women Writers from Regents. Any advice, personal experience, other insights would be appreciated!

I am already planning on taking English Lit, American Lit, Analyzing and Appreciating Lit, and Technical Writing as tests and I am considering the OHU Shakespeare tests.

Thank you all!

My youngest son completed two English courses through BYU. He really enjoyed ENGL 218R - Creative Writing and felt like he gained quite a bit from it. He also completed a course that's not on your list, ENGL 395R - Studies in Literature (Christian Fantasy). He's had nothing but great things to say about that one too. But, he entered the course a big time Tolkien and Lewis fan, which what the course focuses on.
