My vote has to go to 'Ethics in Education'

Unless you've grown up in North Sentinel Island, where you've had no contact with civilisation, all mentally sound adults are going to have an understanding of what is morally right and wrong. Yes, morals and ethics vary somewhat between cultures, but being raised in a certain environment teaches you these morals and ethics.

Ethics in Education is basically studying the theories of a bunch of tenured assholes who need to invent problems and solutions so they can justify why they still need an office.

It's a module for people who incapable of making decisions, leading or thinking for themselves.

It is completely useless in the classroom.

i took some computer class to fulfill a gen ed requirement. goddamn it was useless. i can't remember a single thing from that class. on the other hand, i took a public speaking class to fulfill a different requirement and that class was great

Higher education in the non-STEM/ fields (and business fields to some extent), as it is presently implemented, is woefully inefficient to the point of possibly being a net-negative. The entire concept is barely in the 20th century in large parts, and in many ways still stuck in the 19th.

Like 15 years ago I had to take a computer class too.  Business and computers or something like that.  An into course for 3 credit hours.  How to use Power Point, Microsoft Word, both of which I already knew tinkering around on my own.  Excel, I took in a finance course already and already sort of knew, and then Microsoft Access which I already forgot how to use.  Maybe a brief intro of hardware and software, what's the difference?  Basic make up of a computer and it's history?  I wouldn't have thought they'd still teach basics of computers now though since so many grew up with them.  (We didn't have smart phones then.)  When I was a kid, computer was slow dial up with low graphics, but got my tunes off Napster. 

Anyhew, PPT, Word, and Excel, I still remember.  Access is history.  Using a couple of other things I can still do.  Some funky key commands like shift tab to go back, etc.  Some F commands.  But I assume now there's some coding and basic programming language thrown in?  Make a website or a software program or something?  Learn some of those old DOS commands?  (I actually did try out someone's old 80's computer in the 90's for kicks.  It was odd.) 

yeah there was nothing about word or powerpoint but some excel/access stuff (still no idea what access is for). i think there was a unit where we made basic autohotkey scripts, but who knows. we learned some history stuff too. everyone in that class was checked out

I did get 3 credit hours for it though but waited until my final year to take it.  Was an intro business course.  Access something to do with scheduling appointments and time or something like that.  I'd have to watch a YouTube vid on it but I don't need it now.  Many companies will use their own or other software anyways.  Excel will be most useful for the job market, but google and youtube will have info on how to set up tables and calculations etc.  Mostly slept in it too.  Ha ha. 

I am guessing now more people know about Word and PowerPoint so they skipped teaching it....

tbh i think even STEM is too broad... its really like sTEm (emphasis on technology/engineering if that wasn't clear). i have a friend who studied math and he said without any other qualification/degree (ex. a minor in finance), employers weren't that interested. similar story for my friend who studied biology (but she ended up going to grad school and getting a job in a lab).

my friends who studied computer science or engineering on the other hand... god damn! $_$

Companies use to take a grad and train them in more detail themselves.  But now so many go to school and there are so many grads companies can be picky and obnoxious.  As for university, they need more full time tutors.  Often the way they teach math, science, computers is too academic with lectures and not enough hands on experience and elarning by doing.  Students often don't get it and flunk out or switch to arts as a result.  On the other hand if some of these courses were classes all day like some colleges with ltos of practice and lots of exercises and tasks done in class, more students would know the material and be better at also test better.  They would be more marketable in the job market.  But most unviersities want to get more money and fat paychecks in exchange for doing very little work (IE very few office hours, not wanting to change things from old outdated 19th century ways, etc). 

University system needs a scalpel put to it and to be radically overhauled to get kids jobs and make them employable.  Even the arts kids should have to take a few practical courses.  But often institutions are resistant to change.  They are not resistant to hiking tuition to build new fancy walkways, hike thier pay, give themselves more perks, and let the kids be thousands of dollars in debt to pay for their do nothing lavish lifestyles.  Before demanding free or cost reduced university from the government, first demand the schools do a radical overhaul and reform first. 

Some debt would be tolerable if you actually got a good job with decent pay.  It's when you don't get that and have a high debt that it's a kick in the teeth.  Of course, in the 80s and 90s some folks went to Japan and made good money to repay that debt and in the 90's and 2000's folks came to South Korea to repay that debt.  (Nowdays, where would they go?  China or elsewhere?)  There were extreme options like going overseas in other words.  But it was often uncertain and not many did it. 

Debts are higher than ever way above inflation due to greedy teach nothing universities charging an arm and a leg and not even reforming what or how they teach.  (More in class all day and tutors with frequent office hours would be a good start plus teach the latest software that companies actually use.) 

My vote has to go to 'Ethics in Education'

think i might be able to one-up you on that one, i took a course called "tumblr and the SJWs" 

What's a module?  I had courses.

Modules are the individual units of courses, certificates, diplomas or degrees.
