I've seen the reading list for Children's Lit. *I* would like to take that course. ^_^

Hi Hayley,

I'm in Creelman's Children's Lit course, so you'll know at least one person. E-mail me directly if you'd like me to send you the reading list. Incidentally, I have been told repeatedly by academic advisors and students alike that the course is deceptive in that it looks easy because of the subject matter; however, many find it to be the most rigorous of the upper year English courses in terms of workload (there are 7 books to read, plus 1 textbook!). So, just a heads up.

FYI I'm also taking Writing Poetry with Compton and American Film with Moore, both of which I am really excited about.

It's great to know we'll be in a class together in 2007! Looking forward to it. Drop me a line.

I loved intro to logic, the prof is awesome. Plus it's fairly easy, as the tests are just multiple choice since the class is generally large. I also found that it really helped with my writing because then I could make better arguments. It also helps you to identify the shitty arguments that politicians make. Although you could probably just learn the subject matter yourself from the text. I have it if you want it. But Littlejohn is so awesome! You could always take it another time, I know how much of a pain it is to go to school just for one class.

I took Logic this summer if you want to borrow my textbook, by the way. Lydia's points are right on the money, Littlejohn's quite an engaging professor.

So I am trying to deceide what to take for classes after Christmas. I had it all sorted out, then I got a really uninspiring email from a prof who I planned to take a class from next semester, so I think I am not going to take that class now. I dont want to take classes from profs who just believe that first year students are stupid morans who cant think outside the box and who cant properly use academic essays as reasearch for an essay. Gar. Dont ask. Its not really worth explaining. I just sent a simple email asking a question and got a response where the prof literally wrote "inevitably youll end up cribbing from the article you found". And I was like, f-you. So anyway, without more of an explaniation that I dont want to get into, I am reevaluating what courses to take next semester.

I am for sure taking the Childrens lit class, becasuse I love the prof. And plus, its an awesome course in general. I was going to take Into to Logic, but its three mornings a week, and unless i am going to take another class before or after it, i am not going to travel out to the uni 3 mornings a week for a 50min lecture. (The class I was going to take, but the prof pissed me off and I am not taking now was directly before into to Logic, so it would have worked out okay). I am thinking I might take International Studies on tuesday evenings. And I am debating whether I want to take another upper level english course where I am already taking childrens lit. then again, the reading is easy for childrens lit, so another english course wouldnt be bad. I am debating between a special topic course on contempory arthurian lit or a course on canterbury tales.

Blech. I hate making decisions.
