They are usually lower classmen, so they don t have the advantage of building on knowledge from other classes and may not be sufficiently prepared for college level classes. Hopefully, the general education program will spark an interest for learning in a variety of subjects not just in the student s chosen field. This should help them live a richer life and to have a positive impact in our complex world. General education are the requirements that all university students must meet in various subject areas. The selected courses are designed to provide students a well-rounded education and an opportunity to explore subjects beyond their specific areas of specialization.
Various departments offer the required classes.
The class size is larger to accommodate more students. A disadvantage of the larger class size is that students do not receive as much individual attention. Along with larger class size, more sections and a variety of times are offered than for the non-required subjects. These classes are assessed from time to time to make sure they meet the students needs and to keep up with our ever-changing environment. Students also have a chance to assess these classes through student evaluations.
