In addition, having referred to taking so many courses outside the major field, the concept of education should be weighed carefully. The question of what true education should do has been argued for thousands of years since the most primitive form of education appeared in the ancient time. Socrates, a philosopher living approximately thousands of years ago, whose theory of education has a far fetching effect to the human being, claimed clearly that look into your own selves and find the spark of truth that God has put into every heart, and that only you can kindle to a flame.
Although it reflected more theological ideology than the education perspective, the connotation of his remark reveals that true education is not inserting the stuffing of information into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him. As long as we understand it, it is explicit that taking a variety of courses without considering the specific situation of students and the knowledge structure has nothing to do with the true education, and the function of this method is only to stuff as much knowledge as possible to the students. On contrary, what should do is that take the necessary courses, which will do good to the major field the students pursue according to their specific courses. The quality is the key, but not the quantity.
Admittedly, taking several courses, which have some correlation with their major field,will take a positive effect on the students. Two advantages are not difficult to be found.Firstly, the relevant subject will assure the student a broader ken. It is unimaginable that some experts have only single penchant in their narrow area. What is more,through learning other disciplines, new angles can be used in the old views. Secondly,increasingly appearance of verge subjects requires us to take more interactive disciplines. The example of the subject of bio-information is a good illustration here.Thus, I do agree taking relevant subjects is necessary.
