which classes did you take outside of your chosen discipline?

I took Japanese1, Chinese history, Northern European history, Sociology, and Psychology classes outside of my chosen discipline.

how did you select these classes? (e.g. based on interest or based on requirements for your degree program)

All of them are humanity classes listed on my degree program. To be honest, I tried to set the schedule with the time rather thinking about the interest of the class material.

how would you rate the “outside classes”? (e.g. a waste of time or an enrichment of your education)

I will say it was an enrichment of my education. Of course, there were times that I thought those classes were waste of time. But, if I only took CS classes in my college life, my life and education may have been really dried. That may have been like a computer learning a skill to perform certain actions.

if you had a choice: would you take more outside classes?

I will. If I don't have to pay for the tuition fee and if I don't have to get any stresses on getting a letter grade, I am willing to take more outside classes. There are many outside classes that I have to give up due to time conflicts.

to be a well educated graduate in your respective discipline — what do you consider the most important objectives?

The most important objectives to be a well educated graduate in my respective discipline is all about motivation. If you are not motivated, and don't want to be dedicated on the subject, that will be just a waste of time and money.

did CU offer classes for you to meet these objectives?

There were few classes that did the job which are Object Oriented Language, and User Centered Design. Those classes motivated me to participate in the class through class assignments. The topics were interesting and motivating.

have you pursued these objectives outside of classes (in other settings at CU; outside of CU)?

I guess the objective, motivation, can be found anywhere in our lives. For example, I sometimes cook food in the morning instead of eating cereal, because I am motivated to have healthier life.

hat do you consider the most important impact of new media and human-centered computing on YOUR education?

This gives more choices on my education. They show more information, and I obtain those, and use those information to expand or change the way of my education track.
