When I was doing my Open University computing degree one of the modules was on systems thinking. During the course I got told (by tutors) that I have a tendency to think more systematically than most people. So I should've been able to pass the module easily? Nope. That was the only module I abandoned; I got so angry with the way it was being taught, the assumptions and arrogance displayed by the tutors (very much "us against the reductionist world"), that I lost all interest in completing it. At that time, the module was a required component of the computing degree. By abandoning it, I had to give up the single-subject degree. Instead I opted to take some creative writing modules and ended up with an OU open degree. Turns out I was much happier writing and creating stuff than drawing clouds and pipes and stuff.
