Some people may believe that general education courses are very important for every student to complete. I feel that a lot of general education courses are a repeat, a waste of time and money for many students. Generals that I have taken have mainly been a review of what I learned in high school or even middle school. If I already know what is being taught why would I want to take the time and money to sit through a repeat of material I already know that doesn't relate to my major?I would rather just start taking courses that relate to my major so I cant have a career and make money more quickly.
Although I do have mixed feelings on this topic because I did start college right after high school so many of the general courses were and are a review, but for someone that is starting college years after high school general courses may be completely new material for them so they could could be very significant to them. I also feel that having a review of general education can give students more knowledge and further help with their major and related courses so they could be beneficial in some aspect to a students college success.
