When I went to college the first time 20+ years ago I took English Comp I & English Comp II.
I had no real concept at the time of the value of credits, I just took whatever my advisor told me to, lol.
Fast forward to now. My English Comp II (Research Writing) turns out to be worth a measly 2 credits. I feel that the system is a bit unfairly determined because it took umpteen hours each week and I feel was much more difficult than the Comp I that was worth 3 credits. Anyhoo.
All the colleges I have applied to, including TESC, want 6 credits total for English (I have 5). Anyone have suggestions for getting that last 1 credit of English?
Is that even possible? Or should I just count my past class as good experience but not worth anything and take the SL course to get the 3 credits?
