<p>Just wondering, what genres or specific books do freshmen read for an English/writing course?</p>
<p>Depends which course you take. Most of them have a syllabus online.</p>
<p>It also depends largely on which instructor, or even section, you’re in, as different professors tend to have different readings for English 1, at least.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t count on reading as many novels as you would in a high school course, you’d have to take upper level English classes for that. English 1 and 2 are designed to make sure everyone is capable of writing fairly decently. Whether they succeed, that’s a different story…</p>
