I've heard that linguistics is one of the most unique courses at Mac. Overall I've heard great things about it. It won't be too easy, but everyone seems to enjoy the subject and finds it intriguing, and thus remains interested in the course as well.

I've heard good reviews about English 1A03 and Linguistics 1A03, but I haven't taken them myself. Check out the course reviews though for more info: http://www.macinsiders.com/forumdisp...104.html?f=104

I've heard mixed reviews about Linguistics. Half the people who take it, love it, whereas the other half regret taking the course. English is generally enjoyable

one of my best friends was also in humanities lastyear and got into communications this year.
she said that linguistics was pretty hard for her and she did well in her other courses.

the other courses you can take that are easy are
womens studies
theatre and film
geography (1ha3 and 1hb3)
multi media

those are the ones she took.
