Despite hating it, I probably would because it would look really bad on job applications and such if you said you hadn't done english.

It would probably also be assumed knowledge for a lot of university courses (not that it really matters).

Plus, I do 12 units, so I wouldnt really care if I did crap in it, because it wouldnt have to count.

If it is not assumed knowledge for my course, and I deemed that it will not hurt my job prospects, then I would 100% not choose it.

Is that also assuming it wasn't counted your 10U of UAI like it is now?

I'd probably do English anyway, I don't love the Advanced course but I wouldn't give Extension 1 and 2 up for it.

Yes. I would choose it. English is a great subject. If it wasn't for English, I would not have developed some of the great essay skillls.

I would not count English. I almost do my head in trying to study for it.

Anyways, while we're on the topic of English, you've failed to use the subjunctive in the title for this thread. :p It would be correctly written "If English were not compulsory". ;)

should be compulsory, just not a compulsory 2 units in calculating UAI
Then it would be pointless. As those who wouldn't choose to do it, wouldn't put in any effort and get 0 in everything and those who would've chosen to do it, put the effort in to doing it.

English should be compulsory and counting UAI or not compulsory at all.
