@hazelweakly I fully admit to HATING the mandatory "arts" courses (English lit, sociology, history, etc) I had to do as part of my uni degree. If I were doing it now I would probably have chatgpt'ed my way through most of the essay writing. Which is what I worry is happening with the next generation 😬

I'm at the point in life/career where I realize these were actually really useful.

how do we actually illustrate the value of these subjects to future generations? For me I know part of the issue was time management - trying to focus on reading a book and reflecting on it while also juggling all the "engineering" course work. Separate them into their own year/semester?
