I took calculus and have never used it. I don't think calculus is something most people need. "Regular" people (non engineers) need to understand geometry and algebra, but for most people calculus is simply useless. Chemistry is good. Everyone should have some basic chem, and all students should have to take botany and zoology (imo). I think we could seriously reduce some of the bullcrap GE classes. I STILL remember my embarrassing imprisonment in 6 units of American Indian Studies. I worked really hard in the class, and attended every class- noting, as I did attend, that 1/4 of the class was routinely absent. The class GPA? A 4.0. I went to the dean and complained about that. I had to send my transcripts to Berkeley, and I said it was an embarrassment to have a class that big, lower division, with a 4.0 GPA. What a huge waste of time. I'm all for the liberal arts- but let's have some quality control.
