What really annoys me are class requirements that are completely irrelevant to the major. For example, how do political science and history classes help me with engineering? I don't do very well in those classes and they would be of little help to engineering. I think they should offer alternatives that are useful and interesting. I would have enjoyed history a lot more if it was engineering history.
I am this way with grades, I keep about a B average, but i'm 1st or 2nd smartest in all my classes.
