After reading Ballpoint there were some things that jumped out at me. One is that even though I don't think of Ball State as a liberal arts college like some smaller liberal art schools that doesn't mean that it isn't. It seems like Ball State just wants to make sure that all of it's students are well rounded when they graduate and are not just sevants of their major. Which is the reason for all those core circulum classes. Sometimes you have to do and learn things that don't want to such as writing papers or doing algebra because even though you may never have to do it again after graduating ,it's still considered one of the college standards. I mean if I were an employer I wouldn't want to hire someone who had absolutely no knowledge outside of their major. If most graduates from Ball State couldn't write a paper then it would give the university an unfavorable name and would diminish importance of getting a degree reguardless of your major. I do have to say that I don't entirely believe the comment about reading and writng being so connected because if that were the case then should be no way my blog should be this bad with all the reading I do. So I guess I will finish writing this blog even though I never intend to be a novelist.
