    Eng Ext 1: To drop or not to drop?

    i'm taking 13 units this year, including EE1, and my module is also Genre: Revenge Tragedy. i've been considering dropping a subject for a while, but i think that you've done majority of the work for it now, if you take 12 units all the way through then EE1 may not even have to count in your...
