116. Lecture was interesting for cultural anthropology. but I don't know how much of what I retained is applicable to real life

176. A final note: The title of this survey is misleading. A true assessment would ask for information regarding the negatives of these categories, and what students feel about the program overall. Also, "General Education" encompasses far more than the GE R courses at any school. Finally, my "Learning Experience" was influenced marginally by the GER courses. Where's the survey for the rest of it? By the way, what ever happened to the most important GER, the S1 requirement?

104. ) Why do we have three art requirements, but yet we have dropped the Speech requirement and have a foreign language requirement that lets so many people get tested out, that is almost pointless. Art is important, but three classes?! Come on now, I can think of many other classes that would be far more benificial in the real world than three art classes.
