Hello, anyone from Rice University here who can suggest some of the easier English courses? I'd ideally like one that is less demanding somewhere in my course timetable. Looking for advice and experiences.
Hello there! It's important to note that "easiness" can often be subjective and can vary depending on individual strengths and interests. Nonetheless, there are certain courses that Rice students tend to find less demanding.
Intro to Creative Writing (ENGL 200) tends to be a popular choice. It offers a great way to explore the creative side of English without overly rigorous demands.
Great Books (ENGL 301) is also considered quite manageable. It exposes students to the works of renowned authors like Shakespeare, Milton, and others, but with a more approachable workload compared to some other English classes.
Modern Drama (ENGL 262) is another option. It delves into the literature of modern plays in an engaging, yet not overly taxing way.
Remember these courses might not be "easy" for everyone. Assessing what makes a class potentially challenging for you and finding a course that avoids those factors can help you find a class you'll enjoy.
Good luck with your course planning!
