Second, upper level courses will help to fill in the gap between the base divisions. As mentioned, the study of history can profitably be related to psychology or sociology, the study of literature to history. For example, a person who has taken a course like Hum 6 in high school would still do well to take a more sophisticated course combining the textual with the historical approach. In short, the basic four course requirement aims toward attainment of what is in our opinion the primary goal of Gen Ed; the substitution of upper level Gen Ed courses helps to fill...
...short, the generally educated man, first and foremost, should be given the seeds of learning in each of the four broad areas of knowledge (through courses like Hum 6, Nat Sci 5, and Soc Sci 2), and it is for this reason that we stress the need for breadth before depth in General Education. No matter how hard he studies, a man cannot leave the college with proficiency in a variety of departments. But he can leave with some sophistication in his own department and the ability to appreciate other works outside the broad field of knowledge of which...
...those who claim that this goal is beyond attainment, we would cite those present Gen Ed courses which do an excellent job of giving the student a broad, usable vocabulary, i.e., Nat Sci 5, Hum 6, Soc Sci 2. For example, Nat Sci 5 combines physics, chemistry and biology in giving the student tools to gain insight into a wide range of scientific topics. Similarly, Soc Sci 2 and Hum 6 allow the student to read history or literature with a greatly enhanced sense of perspective. On the other hand, a course like Nat Sci 10 is too narrowly conceived...
Beautiful, what? Then, Lampy gives us an idea of what they can come up with when Crimeds feel sufficiently in the clear for a bona-fide dump. Take this evaluation of a spurious Hum 2 section...
While ardent Hum 6-ers assiduously jot down every word of often meaningless lectures, wobbly young students gather at the feet of Professor John Dunlop to learn the latest styles in strikes and collective bargaining (Ec 129). Those interested in Metropolis, Gotham and Megalopolis should stop in to hear Professor Banfield explain "Urban Policy Problems" (Gov 146). Music 1 teaches students the difference between a monotone and a metronome...
