PERSONALIZATION AND EDUCATION
From the Sustein readings and the examples in class i have found that i am a avid believer in personalization of education. With limitations of course. Here at CUA we have to take so many classes that dont pertain to what we will be doing for the rest of our lives in the REAL WORLD. Sure philosophy can be kind of interesting but as a Media major you must take four of these as well as a few theology classes. I dont see how these classes will help me when I graduate and begin my life as a miserable working adult. I also believe that attendance in class shouldnt be mandatory because many students like myself have a lot going on in life and sometimes school must take the back seat....But since Im paying for it i feel like it shouldnt matter. Personalization when it comes to education also has its flaws dont get me wrong. One of the problems is that the students might have a narrower view of life. These mandatory classes open us up to a world in which we may have never discovered.

I agree with you, these mandatory classes do open up our minds and make us branch out...but I really don't care. If other students want to take class that won't pertain to anything they plan on doing later in life, then they should go do it on there own time. With the amount of money we pay to go to this university, we should get more say in our education.
