Marywood's Liberal Arts Advantages

Marywood’s Liberal Arts is a requirement for the students in order for them to graduate. It provides positive benefits over all for the students even if it does not intervene with their major. Having an education in the Liberal Arts provides an individual to share their education and communication throughout their environment. For example, my major is Interior Architecture and I find it pointless to take an English class. I do not see how reading a book and jotting down notes can help me when I go to build a model or draw a plan. Having to go to studio and stress over my work not being done just because I have to go attend a modern belief class or composition class is ridiculous. I think that students should just have to take classes that
relate to their majors. On the other hand, I believe that a presentation class on how to professionally give a presentation would be more accurate than a writing class. For architecture, the students have to present every studio day on the work that we did previously throughout the week. Students suffer because they get nervous because they do not have words to say. Although some students may be mentally smart, other students may not be. Some students may be unsure about what to say about their project, but the project itself may be beautifully crafted. The Core Values of Maywood are beneficial to all majors, inside and out. Respect and Empowerment are greatly forced throughout majors, including mine. When a teacher is willing to help or teach, the students have respect to listen or ask respectful questions. When I think of the values of Marywood, empowerment sticks out the most to me because when I hear the word, I can hear motivation. It thrives me to go further and reminds me that I know I can do it.
