  • Why does this class require a 12 page essay for the culmination. I had two other Englishes this term and even they weren't this bad. You need 20 minutes worth of content to pass. It's a bit ridiculous. However, you do learn about some good stuff here, and you get to watch South Park, the Simpsons, read about Dungeons and Dragons and Atheist comedians and so on. It's fun.

  • Be prepared for a lot of reading. Not quite what I was hoping for - more philosophy than any specific religion. I started this course a few years ago and had to drop it; it has not really been updated since then.
