I know what GUR's for WWU are.

Yes, and I can explain them.

Somewhat, I know what they are but can't explain them well.

Not really, I've heard of them but don't understand them.

No, I haven't heard of them.

I don't know

I have taken GUR's or Gen. Ed classes

Yes, I have taken some at Western

Yes, I have taken some at Western and some elsewhere

No, I haven't taken any yet

I don't know

I have enjoyed taking GUR's either at Western or elsewhere.

Overall, GUR's are just something I have to “take care of” and “get out of the way” – they won’t really benefit me in any way.

Are any of the reasons below ones you identify with? (Pick up to 3)

GUR's are just ways to get money out of Undergrads

If it has nothing to do with my degree(s), it won't benefit me in the future.

They could be helpful but are sold as something we have to do as students, not something to help us find our majors.

They're part of what's turning a 4 year degree into a 5-7 year degree.

The most frustrating aspect is the inability to have all credits transfer over from other institutions.

The most frustrating aspect is the inability to test out of some GUR's

It's frustrating to have to take courses in specific areas, let us choose from a list to hit the credit requirement.

I still think that benefits still outweigh any negatives

They allow me to understand what could be a hobby versus a career
