[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most psych stuff at the undergraduate level is mechanical, obvious, boring and easy. The humanities, like English, philosophy, and the arts, provide a much better way to understand humans and develop critical skills, like logic, critical reading, and well-supported arguments, conveyed both in presentations and in writing. Biology could be a nice STEM supplement. [/quote] 40% of the courses even STEM students take are humanities. The idea that the only way to develop logic, critical reading, writing is by reading ancient history or psychology is nonsense. I am all for a good liberal arts education but colleges are already requiring even STEM students to take many of these classes. Do you need 120 credit hours studying humanities to understand humans and develop critical skills, like logic, critical reading, writing? [/quote]
