Awesome? Does the grade do anything good for you? -
Boosts my GPA and gives me my last required Humanities credit.
I'm applying for internships now so my GPA matters.
All of the real courses are a ton of work and actually hard, Philosophy was like recess..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

GPA = Grade Point Average
It's a number between 0 and 4 which gives a rough approximation for how well someone does in school.
4.0 = A/A+
3.7 = A-
3.5 = B+
etc
Internship is where the school places me with a company for a period of 12-18 months (Microsoft, Sun, IBM, etc. all take interns each year from the school), and you get paid as well as work experience, and write a report. Then you go back and do your final year.
To get my BSc in Computer Science, I need X many courses from several faculties to get a "diverse" education. So I needed to take 4(!!) humanities courses (Languages, Philosophy, etc.)"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

The point of universities, at least in North America, is to give you a higher level of education: not just in your field, but in general. It's supposed to make you more enlightened.Originally posted by Pekka

That's why I've had to take courses like Economics (2 of them), Philosophy, English, History, etc. in addition to math & computer science.
If I wanted a simple programming diploma I could've gone to some crappy 2-year technical school.

Philosophy is useful in what? Being a teacher of Philosophy. What a complete piece of BS, if you ask me.The point of universities, at least in North America, is to give you a higher level of education: not just in your field, but in general. It's supposed to make you more enlightened.
When I grow up big'n'bold, I'm going to become a dictator of this continent, develope a massive superiority complex and start executing humanists and "pro-culture" -folks en masse.
That'll teach 'em.Comment

I agree, it was a waste of my time, but it was required, so what can ya do.
