I was wondering what this course involved as I was considering taking it over the summer through PittPASS. For example, does it involve a lot of reading novels, term papers, socratic seminars, class discussions, speeches, etc.? I could base it off of what I have seen in high school but some people tell me English in college can be completely different. If anyone has taken this course or knows someone that has, I would appreciate some knowledge before I decide to take it over the summer.

Where is reddit? I can’t seem to find it.
The thing is I already took AP Lit in high school and think I may have gotten a 4 on the exam. So we called Pitt to ask if there would be an overlap between the Seminar in Composition course offered through PittPASS over the summer and my AP Lit credit and they said I would have to forfeit my AP credit after all of the hard work I went through trying to pass the exam. Its such a shame though because I really wanted to do PittPASS but I’d have to forfeit my AP credit and pay all that extra money to take Pitt’s Lit course when I might already have the credits.
Chelsey I’m in that same position and I really wanted to do PittPASS too! A lot of people at my school ended up deciding not to do it because they already have credits from AP History, AP English, AP Psych, etc. and doing the program would be a repeat of courses they already have completed in HS. It gets to be wasting money if you already have the credits through AP and you have to forfeit them.
