Humanities: where you don't realize you need to tell us what the y axis of the graph is to make your point, and then wonder why people aren't lining up to not learn anything.
Then blame common core, because... too many tests?
And the sad, sad conclusion: Of course the answer is for professors to insist that their institution force more students to take more humanities classes.
Because it would be a tragedy if you didn't make a future chemist sit through a semester of Introduction to Shakespeare and force them to write 3 essays that will be vaguely skimmed and returned. If they didn't have to do that, well, I think we all know you can't be a well rounded person without having to listen to a class discussion between a dozen borderline illiterate communication / journalism / criminology majors, and taking notes as they try to make a coherent point about Henry III.

The y-axis was explained in the text! Did you just give us all the perfect opportunity to draw some snarky conclusions about the difference between STEM and humanities students? :D
- justin_vanw 11y agoActually it's not really explained. The second graph is especially weird, since it says 'number of college students is going up' but the graph goes from 0 to 0.18. I assumed it meant 'percent of college students who expressed an interest'?
- tomlock 11y agoI somehow comprehended it on the first go.
