   I also agree that CU math modules ought to be scrapped. They're a
complete waste of time for anyone who has knowledge in math and an even
bigger waste of time for persons who are majoring in subjects unrelated to
math (eg: English). Actually, I resent the whole undergraduate math
requirement. I took four years of math in high school, and I think that's
quite enough for those of us who DON'T NEED anymore.

   I'm not slamming a rounded education. It's fine that students need
exposure to subjects and concerns outside of our personal worlds.
Considering the direction the United States is moving with
telecommunications and the higher need for computer skills in our work
force; would it be more intelligent for CU to kill the math requirement
and pick up one in basic computer sciences?
