The short term English classes can be a little hard depending on the teacher.

I have an 8 week english class, we were assigned to read 3 books (varies on range), and write … somewhere around 35-45 pages of essays, responses, etc. [not including whatever happens in class]

It depends on your teacher too. I recommend not walking in thinking of it like Music Appreciation or Art History, the teacher may have an attitude and clobber you with that.

Besides, the experience can be quite valuable. Being a good writer (and generally well spoken person) can be a big deal for those in technical fields since you can sell yourself a lot better than the dude with a translator.

Intensity though depends on the professor almost entirely. Go read reviews for the professors you’re looking at! I’ve had a few CC classes now that would make a UCB student squirm, if they were studying say - polysci or economics. lol :D
