Comprehensive
Hi,
1)When you have a course where you need to go through a lot of books and materials, it would probably be called a 'comprehensive' course. What would be the opposite of that (a course where it's not necessary to absorb huge amounts of information)?
2) Let's say that you and your classmates are trying to choose topics for your presentations. If you all begin arguing because everyone wants the easiest topic to work on, could I say one of these?
"There's a sense of animosity in the air."
"There's already a bit of rivalry unravelling among us."
I mean it in a funny way. Perhaps you can think of more options.
Thank you.

01. "Comprehensive" means everything is covered. A single course that covers everything would be rare.
2. "A sense of animosity in the air" and "a bit of rivalry unraveling among us" are not used in US English.
