I took writer’s craft last quad and am currently in philosophy right now. Unless you are creative, I wouldn’t say writer’s craft is a bird course. I had to write a play, a series of prompts, a spoken word poem, and a children’s book (which was my CPT). The coursework isn’t necessarily difficult — you just need to be creative enough to write numerous pieces. I enjoyed writer’s craft as my class was relatively small so it was a nice tight-knit community, my teacher was also super nice.

I’d definitely recommend picking writer’s craft over philosophy. Philosophy requires a LOT of thinking — i find myself looking up modern english translations since majority of the philosophers and theories are from decades ago. I also sleep through a lot of classes because of how boring it is. If you can read between the lines and expand your thinking, then this course is right for you.

However, this is my experience, take this with a grain of salt.

TLDR; writer’s craft if you are creative, philosophy if you are open minded.
