Is it true that it's nearly impossible to get an A in WRIT140?

okay class; crappy grading system as someone mentioned before.
I got a 5 on AP English lang, and a 4 on AP English lit, and i got a B in the class. I varied my writing style, changed all sorts of things to no avail. If you are lucky and they happen to like your writing style, then it might not be so bad.
And the prompts were the worst I have seen…like ever.

My best advice is to take the class pairing with something you are actually interested in. Because you are you going to be in hell writing, you might as well be writing about something you are interested in (although chances are the prompts are going to be terrible and very marginally related).
