Reply #23: What's so bad about taking an extra math class? [View All]

I guess that since you and your dad upset about this, this was a class that you had to take in addition to everything else, not a course that you took instead of an elective that you would have liked better. If it was the latter, why is this a big deal? I took some classes that ended up as electives when I made the decision to be an anthropology major too but then decided that anthropology wasn't as cool as I thought.
For some reason, since high school, I thought that reading college course catalogs and trying to figure out what I would like to take was fun so I knew my college catlog very well. In additional, a couple times per year we were sent the list of general education requirements which listed our completion status. My adviser was the department head so he knew the majopr requirements and recommendation pretty well. By my junior year though, he pretty much let me take whatever I wanted to take. My senior year, he presigned my course selection form and didn't even see what I was taking. I had fullfilled all my requirements though except the last two classes in my major so it was mostly electives for the year.
