Claim: Colleges and universities should specify all required courses and eliminate elective courses in order to provide clear guidance for students.
Reason: College students—like people in general—prefer to follow directions rather than make their own decisions.

It is telling that required courses should be exclusively required for all students. However, the issue extends the assertion to an extreme by assuming that it is unnecessary to nourish the students to make independent decision, a fortiori, nurture their potential aptitude. Is it inevitably the case? From my perspective, hardly do I consent the claim that colleges should never foreground every required course offsetting the chance to practice independency and improve potential power.
Admittedly, a lucid arrangement of necessary courses behooves students to prepare for professional career. Because in that case, no one is prone to consume extra time outside their major, in other words, all the time they spend in universities is toward curriculum training. One cannot deny that opting to take literature undermines occupies the time of a physics majored student, similarly, and that seemingly tedious history courses and related exams enervate the verve of students just because of the necessity of completing history courses to qualify for a degree. Therefore, elective courses in some degree harm one’s professional training.
However, eliminating all elective courses tarnishes one’s ability to be discretionary. For instance, confronting with a variety of courses, one has to learn to resolve independently to make optimum study plans, an ability indispensable to one’s future career, in that analogous scenario occurs when one handle multi-tasks simultaneously, that particular faculty enables one to prioritize the tasks all on his/her own. So if one was trained to do that in colleges, he/she would be accustomed to do so in the future. All in all Independency is no doubt one of goals of our education, isn’t?
Furthermore, it is the rigorous courses plan that eradicates one’s potential aptitude. Scientific research shows that far less of us reach a full power exploited state in universities and more of us tend to demonstrate potentials in future social life. Usually are the circumstances that an engineering majored student does a good job on sales positions and that a politics specialized graduate helps experiment in R&D departments after appropriate training. If relevant knowledge could be learnt in colleges, either due to interest or other reasons, the students would be more comprehensively developed. On equilibrium, though having a few salient merits, the statement suffers huge drawbacks in that it fails to take into consideration other crucial elements and accord with common sense.
In sum, the issue is so intrigue that only by both excluding biased judgement and rendering comprehensive consideration can one safely reach the conclusion that colleges should never undergird each mandatory courses at the cost of vitiating the development of students’ independency and latent faculties.
