Purpose of General Education
Prepare: As you prepare to write your answer to the discussion question, think about the general education courses that you have taken as a university student. To help you address the prompts, carefully read the Week One required resources that address the purpose of general education courses.
Reflect: After reviewing the required resources, and in light of what you discovered in preparing to write your answer to the discussion question, consider, analyze, and explain why general education courses should be a significant part of every student's education
Write: For this discussion, address the following prompts:
• Provide at least three reasons why every student should be required to take general education courses. Explain your rationale. Support your rationale with evidence from at least one scholarly source.
• Describe what you have learned from at least three specific courses (e.g., philosophy, history, English, math, psychology, etc.) that has proved its usefulness in your daily life. For instance, what did you learn in history classes beyond just names, dates, and places? In literature courses, what did you learn about life, the university, and everything beyond the literary work itself?
Here is a list of specific courses I have taken at Ashford University:
SOC 315 Cross-Cultural Perspectives, PHI 445 Personal & Organizational Ethics, LIB 332 Science & Culture (INTD, COM 360 Advanced Communications in Society, and ENG 325 Intermediate Composition
