What's with Literature courses being 4 days?

<p>Why are the E316K British/American/World Lit classes 4 days a week? Who's a good English prof?</p>

<p>I would highly suggest taking E 316K at a Community College …</p>

<p>Or testing out of it somehow. That’s what I did. It’s really a pointless class.</p>

<p>Not only that, its boring and most professors are anal graders</p>

<p>Some of the professors such as Bruster have pretty good reviews and give out a lot of A’s.</p>

<p>How exactly would I test out of it besides taking the Lit. AP exam? I really don’t want to take english again.</p>

<p>i have a friend who is going to another college (in new jersey), and she just recently took an english placement test for 25$ at devry university that was similar to the writing portion of the SAT and she said it gave her either 6 or 9 english credit hours. </p>

<p>does anybody else know any information on this?
does UT accept this?</p>

<p>You could take the CLEP exam for the class.</p>

<p>Here are all the credit by exams that UT offers/accepts:

<p>Or take it at a community college, although that may be overkill.</p>

<p>To answer your question, the Lit classes are three days a week with a discussion session. Most classes, your TAs grade your essay-based tests so your grade really depends on who your TA is.</p>

<p>My advice would be to take it online through a CC or UT Extension or you can take it over the Summer or during the Winter at a local CC.</p>

<p>Anywhere else the discussion is in with the regular 3 hours. Thanks for the answer.</p>
