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...

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...
