Hi Dr. Sansom, What a great way of laying out how a general education course can be of such value to the education of a student. I teach several general education courses that are required for my students to receive their state certification. They moan and groan but somewhere along the course they start to realize they are learning things of value that will help them with their careers. You have expressed it so well with your points. Thanks for sharing them with us because I know they will be of help to other instructors that face the same challenges as we do. Gary
