-- Posted by stl man at 3:21 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 Why the hell do they have us taking all of these classes we don't need to take that have nothing to do with our major? Shit like biology, a bullshit math class that I'll never use in life, analytical reasoning, and English. I've recently been having homework and I just won't do it because I refuse to. It's some bullshit. I really feel like dropping out. The only good thing in college is partying and sex, but I don't do any of that. -- Posted by Charolastra at 3:22 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 that's why you go to schools that don't have gen ed requirements. like mine granted, we have to take courses outside our major, but they can be anything -- Posted by Fauna at 3:22 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 yes, analytical reasoning and English skills are completely useless in life. -- Posted by Dragonfist 69 at 3:23 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 i actully used algebra in real life and i thought OMG this is that moment they were talking about! -- Posted by justin1990rm at 3:24 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 Just for the first year i think.. just get them out of the way -- Posted by scotttyyyboyyy at 3:24 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 yea college is not just a school to help you become good in one area, it makes you a well rounded and knowledgeable person in many areas.. -- Posted by stl man at 3:24 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 Quote: from justin1990rm at 6:24 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 Just for the first year i think.. just get them out of the way no i'm a sophomore -- Posted by justin1990rm at 3:26 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 Quote: from stl man at 3:24 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 Quote: from justin1990rm at 6:24 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 Just for the first year i think.. just get them out of the way no i'm a sophomore ahh that is bullshit then -- Posted by rijames99 at 4:39 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 What major are you in that won't make use of biology, math, analytic reasoning or English? Of course it's your choice to refuse to do homework.  I just hope you're not going to school on my tax dime. -- Posted by stl man at 4:41 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 Quote: from rijames99 at 7:39 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 What major are you in that won't make use of biology, math, analytic reasoning or English?   Of course it's your choice to refuse to do homework.

I would love to be able to learn about science and maths at my Uni, think yourself lucky. Education is never useless. -- Posted by stl man at 5:04 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 Quote: from Fauna at 7:50 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 ^ so, you'll need maths, analytical reasoning and English skills then, at least. honestly, you're being given something invaluable - an education, and you're getting a broad, University level education at that!   I would love to be able to learn about science and maths at my Uni, think yourself lucky. Education is never useless. well to me it just seems pointless. college isn't for everybody -- Posted by Bud2400 at 9:32 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 Universities have all these general requirements for liberal arts / science majors because they want their graduates to appear very well rounded to employers.  This, in turn, gives more credit to their degrees, which increases the amount of students wishing to get a degree from that university, and therefore brings the university more prestige and money.  This is why you have to take all these classes. A word of the wise, make sure to get all these classes done as soon as possible.  I got all my general requirements done before my junior year, and now I'm free to focus only on the shit I need to for my major. -- Posted by QisQ at 8:46 am on Oct. 19, 2008 Supposively all these gen-ed classes make you a more rounded person. I do think most of em' are BS. I mean math and english, fine thats understandable but the other non-sense classes I took were such gargabe. But usally they easy A's, so its a good way to boost your GPA. -- Posted by libertine at 1:44 pm on Oct. 19, 2008 To be honest, if you only want to learn things that are directly relevant to your future career, you're in a sorry state. -- Posted by cha chi at 7:16 pm on Nov. 2, 2008 Why are you in college then if your not taking anything that your going to use in life? -- Posted by nik1 at 2:00 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Go ahead.  Cut off your nose to spite your face.  You are the only one you will be hurting.
