REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingMost of the general education classes are interesting because they cover only the basics and what is most applicable to every kind of student. On the other hand, some general education classes are frustrating because the professor goes very in depth and expects such a thorough understanding of the area of study. While these classes are a pain, they are still not a ton of work and are scarce.
