Online Class Notes (Jesse)

When it comes to the heated debate that an university students should be required to take history courses no matter what their field of study is, opinions vary according to personal background, emotional concerns even personalities. Based on my knowledge and understanding, I firmly side with the statement that university students should be required to take history courses no matter what their field of study is.
To begin with, the students that learn other major maybe can find major that they truly want to learning. To be more specific, most of students are not sure of their major that they liked. They just obey their parent. So learn other major, such as history can help them find what they truly liked. For example, my friend, Jacky, when he was a senior high school student, he wanted to learn economics. But this decision was decided by his parent. When he went to university, the university required him to learn history, then he found what he truly liked, History! He told me that he is interesting in mystery in the history. He thought solved those mystery make him feeling good. If he continued to learn economic, he must regretted. So it is important required students to take history courses.
Moving on, learning history can stimulate students to learn harder. To be more specific, understand own country’s history can make target of students that learning for their own country. For example, my father, Mike did not have motivation to learn engineering in the university. Then the university required students to learn history. Then Mike understood the history in China that his own country. This was a very terrible history, but also stimulate Mike to learn engineering. Before he learned history, he learned for himself. After it, he learned for China! This is a reason that university students should be required to take history courses no matter what their field of study is.
Because of those reasons, I think that university students should be required to take history courses no matter what their field of study is.

Moving on, learning history can stimulate students to learn harder. To be more specific, understanding one’s own country’s history can create a goal for students that learning for their own country. For example, my father, Mike, did not have any motivation to learn engineering at university. Then the university required students to learn history. Following that, Mike understood the history of China which is his own country. This was a very terrible history, but also stimulated Mike to learn engineering. Before he learned history, he learned for himself. After it, he learned for China! This is a reason that university students should be required to take history courses no matter what their field of study is.
Because of those reasons, I think that university students should be required to take history courses no matter what their field of study is. / Based on the aforementioned reasons, it is my belief that university students should be required to take history courses no matter what their field of study is. I feel that if this rule is followed by a significant number of people within society it will greatly benefit both the indivduals, and the country as a whole.
