Assignment title: Information
Prepare: As you prepare to write your answer to the discussion question, think about the
general education courses that you have taken as a university student. To help you address the
prompts, carefully read the Week One required resources that address the purpose of general
education courses.
Reflect: After reviewing the required resources, and in light of what you discovered in preparing
to write your answer to the discussion question, consider, analyze, and explain why general
education courses should be a significant part of every student’s education
Write: For this discussion, address the following prompts: •Provide at least three reasons why
every student should be required to take general education courses. Explain your rationale.
Support your rationale with evidence from at least one scholarly source.
•Describe what you have learned from at least three specific courses (e.g., philosophy, history,
English, math, psychology, etc.) that has proved its usefulness in your daily life. For instance,
what did you learn in history classes beyond just names, dates, and places? In literature
courses, what did you learn about life, the university, and everything beyond the literary work
itself?
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length, which should include a thorough
response to each prompt. You are required to provide in-text citations of applicable required
