[url=http://ase.tufts.edu/english/1stYearWriting/topics.asp]Here[/url] are the possible options for English 2. Not all of those options are offered every semester; and fewer options are offered in the fall, meaning that there are both fewer selections and fewer times you can take the course.
Note that you don’t actually need to take English 2 at all. I believe English 4 can be substituted for English 2, I imagine English 3 is an acceptable substitution, and I know for a fact that Philosophy 1 (Intro to Philosophy) is an acceptable substitution. I am biased as a philosophy major, but people generally seem to prefer Intro to Philosophy to English 2. Many sections of Phil 1 are taught, and each professor is free to devise their own curriculum, so the experience is heavily dependent on the professor you choose. As not all sections are finalized yet, it would be difficult to make a choice, but Russinoff always offers a course and it always gets high praise. Jeff McConnell offers two choices for Intro to Philosophy, one grounded in metaphysics and epistemology, and another that’s an exploration of philosophy through film. I’ve taken a philosophical film class with him before, and it was quite enjoyable.

I seriously doubt the online survey matters in the slightest. You won’t be held to it.
