<p>I recently took English Comp 1 followed by Comp 2 with two different teachers. A lot of the essay prompts in the two classes were similar (picking a social issue I was interested - problem/solution essays etc). In fact just for comp 2 I had to choose and research 2 separate social issue problem/solution essays. When you think of it in that context it is fairly obvious (to me) that regurgitating the same work is not what was expected of me. I had researched the subjects in depth that I was interested in for comp 1, so really had difficulty coming up with stuff I was equally interested in for comp 2. </p>
<p>Never crossed my mind that it would be ok to present the same essays in 2 seperate english classes, same would apply if I was in another class that required an essay (really hope my essay days are over).</p>
