Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student's field of study.

Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position.

Surely, supplementary knowledge is advantageous and one should be abreast of variety of sectors as unawareness might cause getting duped. A reasonable person might think students lack in knowledge outside their fields and universities making it available in the form of variety of courses will prove helpful for the education of the students. However, it might turn<span class="hiddenGrammarError" pre="out "></span> the opposite way, as making it compulsory for university students that are not interested or having the mental or financial capacity to complete outside courses could first distract them losing the grip of their own subject and second pressurize students already struggling with their field by extra knowledge irrelevant to their field. Thus, not implementing the policy every student should not be forced to take the outside courses.

The statement’s assumption is that every student will grasp these vast courses and apply in their field or outside. However, failing in these subjects could affect student’s overall results and make them repeat those exams until they pass; hindering their progress in the field they major. For example, the field of arts having no relevance with courses such as computer programming or mechanics is completely distinct and obligating the arts students with such in-apposite courses might impede them from excelling in arts and overburden them as well. Students endeavoring arts are probably not interested in those courses, which is why they chose arts in the first place. After all, it is unfair mandating or judging them on the basis of their scoring in courses not relevant to the field they are seeking.

In contrast to the statement, one might as well argue that not all students can afford paying for all these courses outside their field. Not every student manages to pay the tuition fees for outlying courses considering a financially restrained student endeavoring in Medicines, where the university fees are already soaring, might not afford taking extra courses outside the filed. Moreover, economically straining the students will have its own consequences like causing them to work part time in order to make money. This concomitantly reduces the time students could actually provide to their field of study and ultimately resulting in low academics.

However, some courses that are relevant to student’s field of study could be made available as auxiliary or supporting subjects. For example, students pursuing Web or User Experience Design could have the option to select Psychology as a supporting course as is complimentary to User Experience designing. Adopting this course could certainly help students perform better in their respective fields. Although, these supplementary courses are beneficial they should not be mandatory for the obvious reasons and could be completely elective. Also this outside knowledge is contemporarily available in the form of various sources such as internet and books and students could efficiently use them if motivated by the university.

For every hour the students spend on not studying their field of interest, they lose valuable time in not excelling that field. A famous quote by the great Albert Einstein “Everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid” is applicable if students pursuing their field of interest are judged on the basis of their ability to succeed in other courses outside their field as well. Therefore, requiring students to take courses outside their field of study should not be required by the universities.
