Waste Case #8

Ive decided that I was wrong about the liberal arts education. it really does help you. It makes you well rounded and prepares you for life. I think it is worth it, so what if there's a little extra classes or work, so what if your paying more just for a liberal arts education. In the end it's worth it and once you have that degree from a liberal arts school, you will be set for life. Yeah okay let me stop right there. I'm lying i do not think any of that is true. School is what you make it and as long as you have a degree from anywhere, it helps but it does not mean anything.

Waste Case #7

Is anyone else stressed put after this semester?
I know I am.. This education system is a joke. We all know what the system claims to do, but what do you think it does? I think its just to annoy or stress us out. Or maybe it is required for every student to fill up a certain number of classes so the school can can funding to just waste.
What do you think?

Waste Case #6

Can someone please help me out? I am a Criminal Justice major. But I am only taking one Criminal Justice class. The rest of my classes are Math, Writing, Public Speaking, Philosophy, and the icing on the cake, Freshman Seminar. Does anyone want to clarify to me how these courses help me, or are they just another irrelevant situation that the liberal arts education presents.

What are your majors? Are your classes just as irrelevant as mine? or do you feel that your classes actually help you out?

Waste Case #5

What is going on with Liberal Arts Schools? They are so cynical and sadistic. Yes, they make it easy for you to get into your school. But they make it impossible for you to leave. Let us look at Caldwell College for example. Our core curriculum is so messed up that we take classes that no other schools take as a core. So even if you feel like going through all the paper work of transferring, you have to check if they take your credits. In fact, more than 80% of the students that I talked to that attend Caldwell College and wanted to transfer could not. This was because no other schools require the courses that Caldwell does. So its better if we stay and deal with this, than leave and lose everything we stressed out over and ultimately wasted all our time for. These schools need to get on the same page.

Waste Case #4

      A Liberal Arts Education is a waste of money. Caldwell College for example costs $24,000 a year. I am pretty sure that there is better things that this money can be spent on than a liberal arts education. Instead you can go to a smaller cheaper school, like a community college that focuses on your major, where you can get the same education as an expensive liberal arts school. The only thing that is good about a liberal arts school is the the reputation and connections that can set you up for life.

Waste Case #3

      Liberal arts Education gives too much unnecessary stress to students. Irrelevant courses that more times than not, have much workload, and when combined with other classes, do not allow for enough time to complete tasks by the deadline. Late nights, missed classes, and and not doing work up to par are a result of this. Lack of sleep and mobility, lack of food or increase of "junk" foods, and the most important of all stress are caused by sitting around and doing all this work. Like I said before, many of the curriculum that we receive in these classes we will never use again. So ask yourself is the stress worth it?

Waste Case #2

      Liberal Arts Education is a waste. In the definition of a liberal arts education, they claim to teach you how to learn and think. The problem is that if you are around eighteen years old and you do not know how to think or learn then you will never know how to learn or think. If they think that by some phenomenon you will learn theses things in college, you will just be wasting your time and money. You might as well do something else besides go to a liberal arts educated college if you cannot learn or think.

Waste Case #1

      If you look at why a liberal arts education was created, it becomes evident that it is for people that are unsure what they would like to pursue a career in. While this is all well and good, many people already know what they are planning to do with their lives. Liberal arts education just confuses everyone even further. In fact it is a liberal arts education that deters many individuals away from it by showing them easier courses that the student choices to switch an intended major to due to the easiness. This in fact is teaching today's youth to take the easy way out.
        In addition, for the students that are undecided for what their plans of the future are, that is what the major Undecided is for. Let them enjoy the luxury of a liberal arts education to help them pick a career. The rest of us should just work on courses for a major and not deal with the stress of classes that are totally irrelevant to us. This would make stronger potential job candidates sense we are greatly detailed in our background  of a career rather than have 50% of our education for our career and 25% of our education for things that we already have learned and have been doing for years, and the other 25% of our education on things that we we never use again after we pass that class. It seems like a logical choice to me.
