Survey of World Literature
18/F
I am starting college this fall, and I filled out my schedule today. I have thought seriously about majoring in English, so my advisor suggested an online class called "Survey of World Literature" Part 1 of 2. AKA: English 251.
I took English 111 & 112 in high school through the Dual Enrollment program, and those were the 2 prerequisites for the class. I received an A in both courses, so I was confident that I was going to do well. However after looking at some online course syllabus's I found, I am a little less sure. I didn't recognize any of the works shown on some of the professor's lists, So now I am freaking out.
I'm just looking for any sort of reassurance or tips for this class from anyone who has taken it. Or what was studied and what I can expect. I would just like to have a general idea of what will be studied and what I can expect.
Thank you! :)

Hey! You took the prerequisites and they are designed to prepare you for this class then. However, please keep in mind that this will be completely different in college- even though the high school considered those courses to be at a college level, they are not
the same thing happened to me when I got into college- I found that english courses were much more difficult, I actually had to work for an "A" in class
because it's a 200lvl course most students will probably be sophmores. I took 200lvl my freshman year and found that at first I thought I was going to fail, but by the end of the semester I had an "A".
take the class, you can always drop it with no penalties for the first few weeks of school. if you get there and decide it is just too hard then leave, otherwise stay
just keep in mind that I failed my first 3 essays in my 20th century literature class but after I started to understand what the professor was looking for in our papers I was passing with flying colors
good luck!
