4. LITERATURE REVIEW
• Martorano (2014), as a result of his research, identifies that students who
choose the subjects they are studying are most likely to spend equal
amount of time on general education classes as in core subjects.
Consequently, more time will be consumed in order to attend classes and
learn all these subjects.

5. LITERATURE REVIEW
• Ferguson (2015), et. al states that universities allow students to attend a number
of
courses beyond their major to encourage students to broaden their education.

6. LITERATURE REVIEW
• Some students prefer that general education classes should be free of choice and
that only students who are willing to study this should be able to do so. It should
not be forced upon all undergraduates.

national university students to
study subjects which are
