Very interesting, I never realized that. I attend Stephen F. Austin State
University in TX. My major and degree were in Ed. (hearing impaired) so
there were lots of requirements. There was only 1 math class I was required
to take "Math for Elem. Majors" others who weren't education majors would
take it thinking it was easy only to drop it mid-semester. It was actually
quite difficult since it encompassed just about all kinds of math -
geometry, trig, etc. I also recall that I took 2 biology classes then had
to get the second one specially approved. Apparently I was supposed to take
3 sciences from 3 different areas (part of that well roundedness).
