Why is it, that when a university assigns a prerequisite, it doesn't bother to enforce (either by online registration rules, or by actual checking up on students) it?
Today I started a fourth year seminar in my major. I have worked for three years taking theory course and electives under that major: I have done well and know the theory. I have all the prerequisites for the course. Upon introducing ourselves in class it was made very evident that many MANY students (I'd say about 80% of the class or the last four rows) were not at all cultural studies majors, or minors; they were communication studies majors. This included an undeclared, whom may have taken the full year theory credit--but I don't remember him from it.
Is this what my school is resorting to? Letting anyone take a fourth year seminar; filling spaces with less-than-ready students? I am hesitant: I hope these intelligent but ignorant comm majors don't hold back discussion. If they can keep up, so be it. I just think it's incredibly unfair.
