<p>My daughter is attending Duke this fall as a freshman and she is interested in majoring in English. Do any freshman take the 184s classes, the gateway class for English majors, or are these classes typically taken by sophs/juniors? I ask because the English department says the gateway class must be taken by the end of the junior year for a major. Also, what is the gateway class like and how, if at all, is it different from other English seminars? Thanks!</p>
