<p>As a Science major, these meaningless subjective English Courses and other humanity courses are killing me. </p>
<p>I don't know how it works, but when I do apply to grad school, will they care? I mean I do very well in my Math/Science courses. </p>
<p>Are there any bird courses?</p>
<p>i think english will matter, only because employers want to hire those who can communicate/write.</p>
<p>the science dean and math associate dean at my school were hired partly because they minored in english, and now they teach at least one english course (well the science dean teaches a communications course, which is somewhat correlated to english)</p>
<p>Meaningless english courses? What happens when you need to write a report? Or a thesis? Or need to understand how the human race works? They aren’t meaningless.</p>
<p>All I need to know about writing a report I learned from <em>reading</em> and absorbing, not from sitting in an English class. As for “understanding how the human race works,” well, that’s for economics class, not English. Good gravy, what’s with all the English teachers and English classes that are completely devoid of actual English teaching? When did “English” become an all-purpose watered-down sociology major?</p>
<p>If you can, I’d recommend taking a class in technical communications. It’s generally a lot more focused on understanding how to write effective reports, executive summaries, abstracts, and give good presentations. Those classes tend to teach a lot more mechanics on how to write effectively than you’ll find in almost any other English class.</p>

<p>Ahh, now I understand your other post. Have you ever actually taken an upper level English class?</p>
<p>Nope-a-reeno. I’m basing my opinion on course descriptions and oodles and oodles of anecdotal evidence here and there, from English majors I’ve known, stuff I’ve read, etc.</p>
<p>Don’t put down other majors because they don’t apply to your field of study.</p>
<p>good observation. English is an inefficient and obsolete language with less information per character than highly efficient ones like Chinese and Arabic. Unfortunately, the US Army enforces the domination of this low IQ language due to their control of petroleum supplies and the dominance of the USD, but that’s another discussion. Can you take international finance, international politics or management classes instead? I used those for my humanities requirements, they were far more helpful and useful than garbage like ancient greek poetry.</p>

<p>lmao I would love to see you elaborate on that statement lol.</p>
