<p>I understand that this is a university-wide required freshman course at CMU. Has anyone already taken this class? Who teaches it, and what are some of the main topics? I've got the catalog description - I'm looking for advice on the subject matter, instructors, examples used, likely reading materials, etc.</p>
<p>What's the best way to prepare for this class?</p>
<p>Yes it is true that all freshman take this class. There are many sections of this class due to the amount of students that have to take it, thus there are many instructors.</p>
<p>I wouldn't be too concerned about the class or prepping for the class prior to taking it. If you have had an honors or AP English class in HS and you turn in your work in this class you will be just fine.</p>
