Hello, I was wondering if anyone had tips for dealing with credits that are just required for your curriculum. I'm an Electrical Engineer Major, and usually get pretty good grades in my math, physics, and programming courses, but then my GPA is pulled down by classes like jogging, deaf culture, and other things I find extremely boring and unusable.
I noticed that if I find myself doing something only for the grade, it quickly becomes unbearable. Normally I try to just stay interested and involved in subject matter, but for classes like jogging the 'subject matter' is literally just remembering to keep a log and hand pointless assignments with arbitrarily strict criteria so it can be validated as an actual course.
Does anyone else have this problem? Do there tend to be less of these courses later in your academic career? Should I just get used to it because you have to do boring pointless things throughout life? Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
