This is the best that a university can offer for classes? Teaching folks how to stomp?
When you go back to the 1800s version of a university...it was about enlightenment and discussions over Greek tragic operas, Roman history, engineering, and communication. We didn’t really pump out that many folks, and if you ever admitted that you’d graduated from a real university....you were somebody.
Today? You basically graduate and admit you’ve been stomping on paper with God or Jesus written on it....as part of the classes. Folks would look at you.
The sad thing is that you could have taken a class on Greek tragic opera or Roman history, and been a thousand times more enlightened, than with the stomping class. Sadly, tax payers fund this stuff. Go figure.

Is this is what these students are setting themselves up for decades of student loan debt? More and more college is degenerating into a bigger scam than those late night get-rich-quick infomercials.

College degrees are worthless in many disciplines, if you could call them that.
If you have a degree in the sciences, it has a bit more bearing. If you take Physical Chemistry, you can either solve the problems and understand the concepts, or you can’t .
Of course, that is dependent on how the institution concludes you understand...many might just take your word for it, because they don’t want to lose the tuition revenues...

e sad thing is that you could have taken a class on Greek tragic opera or Roman history... Today's students don't have the reading skills for that. Too many old words with lots of letters.
