  • A lot of random essays, presentations and I fail to see how it is at all that relevant to engineering what so ever. Courses like 153 and more future courses will prepare you for more specific engineering technical writings like reports or proposals.

  • We played Dungeons and Dragons during this course. Never wrote a report, thank god for this helped free up time for other courses.

  • I did well in HS English so it was a cakewalk for me, workload heavily depends on the prof and their mood

  • Interesting course for me, but it is *heavily* dependent on the prof you get; would prefer to say I'm neutral rather than liking it.
