i find myself infuriated that i had to get a classical liberal arts education
so much wasted time and money
well, yeah, it's stupid if you get a stupid degree
a degree in pure mathematics should not require course after course of retarded busywork
nor should any
i disagree. i think it should be split down the middle. this is the reason engineers can barely function in society, the schools don't enforce enough liberal arts ed. at least i'd help.
my school forced everyone to take a lot of general education courses, lots of liberal arts
majority of CS/EGR students still couldn't function in society
We have lots of gen eds for everyone here too, but engineers do still get off easy.
We have to take about 10-11 classes in the liberal arts category, while liberal arts majors get all of that plus another 6 or so classes, including 3 semesters of a language.
It's entirely understandable though, as lots of liberal arts degrees at my University can still be completed within 4 years, even with all the extra gen ed BS. Engineering, however, usually takes 5 years for an undergrad degree unless you're coming in with a large amount of AP or dual enrollment credit.
This is my last week. Pressure is setting in. Thinking about going back to college and getting a BA in art with a concentration in sculpting. That would be wonderful.

i don't think that liberal arts degrees are for lesser minds, or are any less important than science degrees
but there's this odd double standard that the only art that is enriching is the classical stuff
why do i have to learn about what you think is beautiful when you are required to know nothing of galois theory, complex analysis, differential and non euclidean geometries? Or any of the other beautiful, incredible, amazing things in physics, biology, formal logic, or any science for that matter?
it just feels one sided for something supposedly so life enriching

well, to be fair
you don't really get into our upper-level stuff
we see the bare bones of your stuff with our environmental biology and intro to physics courses the same way you see the bare bones of ours with composistion 1 and english lit 1

yes but that's all calculus 1, linear algebra 1, etc etc
there's no number theory, abstract algebra, geometry
everybody hates the forced science courses because they're dull and uninteresting
edit: I'm mostly protesting the fact that if i didn't do full IB in hich school i would have had to take fifteen non science courses (as opposed to five)

Because a lot of those interesting courses require a lot more prereqs than say a basic philosophy, history, or economics course.
I go to school! It is a lot of fun. I am getting a little crazy about how much I love academia. I have actually had conversations with people about potentially being a professor, which is a strange and new thought.
Also I love my professional engineering courses, they're considerably more fun an interesting than basic level engineering courses like materials sciences

Little Jim is being an idiot!
yes truely i am an idiot durr durr i haet acadamia hurrr
i just would prefer a technical style of post secondary education as opposed to the liberal arts variety
heaven forbid there is conversation on this board no no only high fives and exclaiming "yeah!!!!" over and over
You're complaining about how you have to take basic philosophy history and social science courses and liberal arts majors don't have to take higher order calculus.

okay, see though
this would be the difference between a university and a trade school, if they taught engineering more like a trade

true enough, but not for all of those courses (one or two pre-reqs for most of the things i mentioned up there)
there is also a problem with schools having too strict pre-requisites for a whole lot of courses (the hard sciences are especially guilty of this)

One or two prereqs is too much for a gen ed. All of my liberal arts gen eds I have to take as an engineer have NO PREREQS
I'm at a community college after fucking up at regular college, and I dunno...It's not the same, obviously.
All you kids with bright young futures make me a tad depressed.
I always feel awkward around kids my age who aspire to go to community college.
It's probably a bad thing of me, but I go to college preparatory school or whatever, and it's ingrained into me that you should go to a good school, even though people around here don't think like that.
So, it's a good thing that you know you could have done better, because there are so many people who only try for a crappy community college.

Ugh. I wish I had a better memory so I could take a whole bunch of math and science classes. The stuff you can play around with in those classes fascinates me and feeds my insatiable curiosity.

right
i regard anyone in a trade school as a person with equal intellect, because not going to university doesn't equate to being of a lesser mind (not that i'm saying you were suggesting that either)
why not focus on your studying your concentration while you're at school, finish your degree in 3 years?

ahh, yeah, that shit
i tied all that up in my first couple years so my last few semesters were solid programming and math, no bullshit
it was a life of no sleep and constant work
and i loved it

So disappointed in you.

Its fucking great
fuck you, pay me
unfortunately my school of choice is only an hour away from home, but I'll make due
it helps that Herron is the best art school in Indiana, and from what I understand fairly well-acknowledged across the nation

Dogs, who else has AP Exams coming up? Thanks for reminding me, school thread.
oh hey yeah I do. Only one though, Physics B.
we'll see about that one

for a degree with 40 courses!
argh
This is terrible, exams after exams are over.
And both of mine are different weeks, too.
So I guess Architecture is out of the question too.
Also, I would be going into the whole figure making aspect of it. Not stand alone installations.
i can only assume that the THICK is a system of measurements in much the same way imperial and metric systems are.

I like math ok
I just want a career where I can make a real name for myself, and I don't see math as being that career
Might as well just go to a vocational school, really.
One or two prereqs is too much for a gen ed. All of my liberal arts gen eds I have to take as an engineer have NO PREREQS

The chances of making a real name for yourself in any career are about the same, in that they are all effectively zero.
