Is there is more to it than regurgitating info, learning how to play the game, and coming up with original ideas, after getting a degree (of course), I really don't think I have learned much after 5 semesters.
I guess I was thinking more of a challenge and more engaging but oh well. The upper level courses are about as easy as intro courses.
Sorry, but I'm a Biology major... I want to take science courses.
No fluff is how we do it in Australia. Our 4th year involves advanced courses and a research thesis. A decent mark in 4th year and you can be admitted to do a 3 year PhD (typically no coursework required).

Nice. Here it's no fluff too (there is no such a thing as electives and-or courses unrelated to your major), yet you can never be admitted to a PhD with just a bachelor's, you always need a master's (and you still have to go through coursework, which is pretty stupid imho) I know some australians around my age that are almost finished with their PhD, damn.
Would that have made me eligible to go on to a 3 year PHD? Fuck this country! Why am I not Australian?!
I'm very jealous of this. Why the fuck is America the only country that has to take so many bullshit classes? Given that I went on to do a Master's degree anyway.... I want to rewind and move to Australia. I graduated with a perfect 4.0 (Which is all A's here, 92-100%). Would that have made me eligible to go on to a 3 year PHD? Fuck this country!
