1. By "the idea behind requirements", is the writer trying to say "requirements" realize broad or deep education or they don't?
2. What do you mean by "distribution requirements"?
*What's the opposite of "requirements" in college curriculum? "selections"?
st52)The idea behind requirements, both for general education and majors, is that on their own students will not get a broad enough or deep enough education.They might specialize too narrowly or skim the surface too much. But remember that requirements are only trying to ensure a minimum of breadth and depth. There is no reason why you should merely fulfill requirements. Feel free to go beyond the offical requirements - take extra courses in your major or overfulfill distribution requirements..
