RE: General Education in Higher Education is a Scam
I definitely agree
Back in the 90's, the one good thing about the general education topics was having members of the opposite sex. As an Engineering student, there weren't many females in my course (5 to be exact - out of 250).
When I took "Women, power and politics" as one of my general education courses, I can assure you, I do not remember any of the content of the course. Do I think it was worth the price ... no ... but it was a nice break from predominantly all male classes..
Its a nice break in terms of difficulty and a new topic, but is it necessary?
Definitely not. Especially with the price of the courses these days!!
