Hey, does anyone know which 'WR 2' course at Oregon State University is considered the easiest? As I plan my course load, It would be helpful to balance out my more rigorous classes. Thanks!
"Determining the 'easiest' WR II class can depend on many factors, including your personal interest in the course content, your previous writing experience, and the specific instructor teaching the class, as each professor can shape the course in their own way. However, previous students have suggested courses such as ENG 214, Introduction to Fiction Writing, because of its focus on creative writing rather than academic essays. Additionally, WR 222, Writing Research Papers, is often recommended for its straightforward approach to the research writing process, which can be practical and useful for future coursework.
Although some courses may seem 'easier' than others, each course still fulfills the WR II requirement and will necessitate a level of commitment to reading, writing, and revising. Hence, it could be beneficial to choose a course where the topic is of interest to you, as it may make the workload seem less demanding. Lastly, be sure to take advantage of resources like RateMyProfessors or asking upperclassmen for their input to get a sense of the course expectations and the teaching styles of the professors. Remember, what might appear easy to someone else might not be the case for you and vice versa, so choose what aligns best with your skills, interests, and schedule."
