Gen Ed Deliberation 1

  • Is it like you get to explore more gen eds
  • Give time to determine majors, well rounded, better decisions
  • Most like the model we have now
  • More options?
  • Emphasize more diverse
  • Definitely more helpful for gen eds
  • This is how it should be, introduce to more fields that you could be interested in
  • You could like science, and then take a really weird class and fall in love with it
    • Take a writing class and become a science-writer
  • If there were more, you can find out sooner
  • Gen eds be what the students want to make em
  • Themes=bad?
  • Connect with people in other fields
  • Consequences:
    • Doesn’t make sense for less coherent
    • Doesn’t make sense for future jobs
      • Focusing on one subject is actually bad
  • CURE CANCER
  • Get more clubs formed
  • College doesn’t focus on creativity skills and that makes people boring
  • People assume that everyone wants to take the creative classes so they force the skills on us
    • Can’t take creative
  • Math and science should be harder
    • Lots of stuff to learn
  • English is skill based
  • Focus more on the content and less on the grade
  • How to make English harder?
    • Harder tests
    • More content
  • Why exactly are they telling us to fail?
  • If they’re gonna make gen eds harder than core classes need to be easier
  • If a college had a low general gpa then no one would go there
  • In this class you can write what you want
  • Diverse gen eds increase faculty
    • Also may make alumni want to teach here
      • Though that doesn’t happen all that much
    • May make tuition higher
  • Happy is stuck in my head. Thanks.
  • Bring in more students—with more diverse gen eds
  • Themes? Nah, man
    • It’s like declaring another major
    • Most people don’t even know what major they’re doing
  • Gen eds right now are like, awesome now
  • If you want to do that theme thing, then go ahead and do it, but if you don’t, then don’t goddammit
  • Gen eds are just sort of filler right now
  • They’re trying to make them more active in education
  • The structure could drive people crazy
    • Cornell has a huge structure and also the highest suicide rate
  • Everyone do heroin, acid. Gen eds!
    • Definite correlation
  • Cats.
  • Pet gen ed
  • Chimps are not humans
