Quote from dumb_mother:
this is a class that can count towards one of your freshman requirement classes- it was known as a complete blow-off course when i was there, much like i'd assume most required freshman courses at most universities/colleges around the country are. i think we should do away with those req's and just allow people to progress towards whichever major they want without demanding they take a bunch of worthless classes at something like 4k/class at NU nowadays.
hell as an econ major i had to sit through:
sex in the city (how your race, sex and sexual orientation affect your experiences in the city)
the internet and you
some freshman writing seminar i forget which
intro to biology
intro to music
another intro class that dealt with classic literature / epic writings from the persian and older time periods
bioethics (this was the most absurd we had to write an essay where they tried to put you into a morale dilemma between choosing something illegal or legal, i wrote my paper saying one choice was illegal so it was an easy choice to not want to go to jail and got a C saying the legality of the decisions was not pertinent)
all of those courses were a 100% waste of my time and money, period- others were so worthless i can't even remember them.
