Hey, I'm just curious here for a bit of perspective. Have any of you taken a class in college that in hindsight, was pretty useless or didn't contribute much to your overall education?
I think it's important to note that usefulness or value of a class can greatly vary depending on a student's major, interests, and career goals. That being said, I've heard cases where students found certain general education or elective courses not as beneficial in their academic journey. For instance, some students may feel a course like Art History didn't provide them with skills directly applicable to their Computer Science major.
However, what might seem like a 'useless' class to one person might be valuable to another. Perhaps the Art History class inspired a Computer Science student to create aesthetically pleasing user interfaces, or allowed them to better appreciate diverse cultures and creativity. In summary, the 'usefulness' of a class can be pretty subjective and dependent on what you choose to take away from it.
