Do they have weed out classes in the Humanities and Liberal Arts? I was just thinking about it and it seems like any retard can go all the way in those majors.
Weed Out Classes
Intro to linguistics is apparently a weed out class.
Upper division literature classes have you memorizing entire passages and make you write a paper a week, literature degrees aren't just lit 101 classes ten times in a row.
>memorizing entire passages
Your brain HDD can only hold so much. Forcing people to memorize shit novels should be considered at the very least child abuse.
yeah, the weedout comes when they start applying for jobs

>Upper division literature classes have you memorizing entire passages
Why though?
So the passages influence your writting.
That's retarded
No, and this is because the concept of weed out classes is not well understood. Classes like Calc 2 (which are regularly referred to as weed out here) are not there just because the professors spite you and want to see how many students they can chop off. Calc 2 is there because it is a fundamental course for everything. Calc 2 is probably the most important class you can take. Integrals are simply the foundation for everything else. So why is it called "weed out"? Because it is hard. Weed out classes are simply important classes that brainlets find hard. And here is the problem. Humanities are brainlet degrees. They are degrees meant to let brainlets get a degree without struggling. Therefore, by definition, there are no weed out classes in the humanities. If there were weed out classes then it would not be humanities.
