Did "general education" classes make you a better programmer?
- by Big Johnson
I'm surprised by the number of general education classes computer science students must complete to get their bachelors. For example, I must take:
three English classes
two history classes
public speaking
economics
biology
I hardly think these general education requirements are unique to the university I attend. My question is (for those of you who have degrees), in what ways have these general education requirements improved your career as a programmer?
