- Honestly, I wasn't complaining.

- In my original post I was responding to a comment that First-year English
- (FE) was the only required course that students in college must take--all
- other core requirements being essentially selectable electives. My own
- college experience in the mid 70s was quite different from this as I was
- required to take a number of specific courses. And where I teach we require
- a number of sprecific courses (including intermediate writing courses) in
- which the student has either no choice or the choice is a very narrow range
- of courses which each must be equivalent in terms of the total amount of
- work and the types of assignments given.
