<p>Does anyone have any suggestions for easy (less work/lenient graders) professors for ENC 1102 and/or SPC1600 classes. My daughter is planning on taking a rough schedule of:</p>

<p>CHM 2046/2046L with Dixon (only prof.)
BSC 2010C with Thomas (only prof.)
AMH 2020 with Goffin (rated highly)</p>

<p>She only would have 11 credits and needs one more class (ENC or SPC)to bring her to full time status. She will be pretty overwelmed/swamped with her 8 credits of science so she really needs and easier/less work intensive ENC or SPC. Suggestions welcome.</p>

<p>No one here knows anyone who has taken ENC 1102 or SPC1600 at UCF?
DD has tentatively decided to take ENC and try for a “good” professor.</p>

<p>Did she check [url=<a href=“Rate My Professors”>http://www.ratemyprofessors.com?]RateMyProfessors.com[/url</a>] ?</p>

4

<p>Definitely. She has a printout of all the ENC and SPC profs and their ratings but this dosen’t tell her how much actual work is involved in the class.</p>

<p>My s had both classes, but he took them honors sections. He had someone named Musambira, I think, for speech, and he felt as though he really didn’t want to be teaching the class. He did well in there, but didn’t particularly care for the teacher. He had Melody Boudin (Bowdin?) for Eng. He did well in there, but there was extra work … many hours on a pet project of hers dealing with writing memoirs. He spent a lot of time at local ALF’s, interviewing retirees about their experiences. I remember he liked the ol’ guys he met, great stories about serving on a submarine during WWII and some other guy with an interesting life. But that was a lot of time he had to schedule outside of class time.</p>

<p>Thank you for replying zebes. Those profs don’t teach the non honors sections though. She has decided that ENC 1102 (Composition 2) will probably be best for her as long as she can get a professor who known to be good (as in no extra busy work, not unreasonable grader). Right now online the spring catelog is posted but most of the ENC 1102 classes haven’t been assigned professors yet.</p>

<p>Almost all of my friends are in speech classes right now, as am I. Most of them are typical easy classes: write the speech, present it, memorize BS for the tests.</p>

<p>I’d definitely recommend taking SPC over ENC 1102. ENC isn’t hard, but everyone I know in various classes of it (and me) agrees that it’s a lot of busywork.</p>

<p>Which professors do you have for SPC and ENC?</p>

<p>I’ve got honors for both – Musambira speech, Bell english. I just talked to some of my friends that aren’t in honors.</p>

<p>But even if the opportunity arises for honors english, do NOT take it with Bell. Under any circumstances. Worst class ever.</p>
