<p>indycarkid, you should strive to get an A in W-131. You should at least get an B for all your pre-req courses. It’s true that for W-131 it is more difficult to get an A compared to other english classes. </p>
<p>1) the general notion is that a english major is an easy major… the schools not just IU try to combat this by making the introductory classes more difficult in obtaining an A. </p>
<p>jazzkat, you should expect to read a fairly decent amount throughout the course. This depends of course in your instructor but if your prepared you can’t go wrong.</p>
