Prejudice"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

I have to say I'm prejudiced against English StudentsI should add that I AM one, as a joint-major with Music. The music department I'm in has scores of friendly, dedicated people who really want to do well and have a genuine interest in the subject. And there are plenty of those in English as well. However, at least half of the people in English seem to have the idea that, "I speak English, therefore I can pass a degree in it- what a doss subject!"
At degree level, that shouldn't be enough. Seriously. It cheapens the field.

AgreedThis was my experience with it as well. "i can read, therefore I'll do English". Only about half of the people had a genuine passion for the subject
