BLOG #11 Part 1

My ideal university is as such:
You start off in college with or without a major selected. Most students know generally what interests them, or at least what they like or son't like when it comes to subject matter. Two different general paths can be selected from the beginning of my four year university. The first is for those who know what they want to do, in which they take classes pertaining to only their major and have an unlimited amount of electives they can take if they so choose. The general education does not repeat what class subjects students took in high school unless the student so chooses, but instead offers new ones that weren't offered in high school so that a student without a clue as to what they want to do can try out new things. Also a general class should be taken by these students in which they explore the different types of jobs from taking trips to companies or trying them out themselves. With these paths, the curriculum is pretty much established. Within certain majors there should be job classes so that students can see what different types of jobs there are and work actively in them briefly so that they can get taste of different jobs in their major. Then take classes that will help them learn the material for their concentration. Each student should take a certain amount of credits in their majors. Minors should work the same way, just with less credits needed to achieve it. Overall workload for each class should stay minimal so that you can get alot of work but only if every class issues an assignment.

Thats acedemics, as far as sports and vacations, they should all be the same. The only exception I can think of is that we should get all major and federal holidays off.

No classes before 9 am. none after 4 pm. Everything else I do like about college. I think that acedemic standpoint is the only thing i really have criticism for.
