: The other one is the size of Literature courses.
: I know there are many classmates who agree with Ms.Chung's opinion.

First, please forgive me for writing such poor words.

I just chatted with C.J. on the MSN, and he mentioned something interesting.

We talked about if the materials that Ms. Chung, Giles, and Guy taught us so
far is replaceable or not, and I said maybe Guy's MLA style is the most
important thing than those of Ms. Chung and Giles, because we'll learn
linguistics in the future. As to the vocabularies, I'm sure we'll keep on
learning them in every course. But, C.J. pointed out the truth told by a
senior student. Actually, when attending the course of Junior Composition,
we'll have chance to learn about the MLA style, so it turns out to be
replaceable too, and Guy just taught the things that we'll learn when we're
juniors.

Therefore, I was confused. If we'll contact with these things again in the
near future, why should we learn them in advance? I guess maybe they want us
to establish the foundation of future learning. Afterall, some of us are not
quite so good in the aspect of lessons. I think they want us to be fully
prepared when facing the incoming challenges.

So, it seems to still be a controversy worth discussing, and no wonder
professors of DFLL are keeping arguing. What's other classmates' opinion?
