When you were in college, did you enjoy all the classes....

...relating to your major?

Just out of curiosity, what does it matter? I mean, what good does it do you to know whether I, or anyone else, enjoyed my major classes or not?

...relating to your major?

Some you like and some you do not like. If you want to complete a degree in any chosen major field, you must tolerate both and make the honest effort to learn.

 

[Dr.D]

Of course not! There were some that were dull as dust, and some that were profoundly exciting.

 

[ZeGato]

No, and there were some I particularly hated.

what does it matter?

I guess I'm just idling in my thoughts, pointlessly regretting not taking the classes I was somewhat in interested in taking in my college career, but chose not to, because I could choose a set of classes that are scheduled in such a way that my work hours are maximized. There are lots of things I regret not doing in college, and this is one of them; there are plenty more things I regret, but I am not in the mood to bore people by talking about these regrets.

Thanks, everyone, for sharing their thoughts and experiences on the matter, besides.

The question matters, because a student cannot and should not expect to like every course needed for an undergraduate degree program.

post-ad : As I rethink this, it does not really answer the original question. It does nothing more than restate what the student asked, but as a declaration instead.

No. In my day we had revolving blackboards that went up to the ceiling in our two storey lecture theatre. One lecturer wrote maths equations so fast they disappeared over the top faster than I could write them down let alone keep up with his reasoning. Amazingly one or two students out of the 100 or so could even spot when he had made a mistake!

Fair enough, but any human who expects to like EVERYTHING about any aspect of life is likely to be in for a hard life of disappointment and students are no exception.
