Hey, English isn't my strong suit and I'd like to choose an 'easier' English class when enrolling for college. Has anyone had an easy experience with particular English courses? Do share!
The difficulty of English classes can really depend on the specific college and professor, so keep that in mind. That being said, certain types of English courses may be more manageable than others.
For example, you might consider starting with an Introduction to Literature or English 101 course, which often focuses more on reading comprehension and basic writing skills. These classes can be less demanding than more specialized or advanced literature or writing-intensive courses.
You could also look into genre-specific courses that align with your interests. For example, if you enjoy science fiction or fantasy, there might be an English elective focused on these. Studying literature you already have an interest in can make the experience more enjoyable, which could make the class seem easier.
However, don't shy away from more challenging English classes just because they might seem hard. Improvement comes from challenging oneself, after all. If you're having trouble in a class, reach out to your professors or TA, join a study group, or seek out tutoring resources on campus.
And remember, your academic advisor can be a great resource in helping you select appropriate classes based on your abilities and comfort level.
