Sidenote: This has nothing to do with techno. I know, that's not your main argument (and your comment is nine years old), but it still boggles me. One example: Klanglos - Acid Trip.

Apart from it being electronic music and mixed/ produced, it's pretty much the extreme opposite of this... electronic elevator music I guess? :D Anyway, have a good day everyone :)

Really sums up General Studies. At my school we did the General Studies exam without doing any lessons in it - got an A.

[@MuchWhittering]

I did General Studies for a few weeks in Year 12. I dropped it because I decided that rather than wasting my time in there for an hour a week I'd do something productive like sitting in the 6th Form common room chatting with my friends.

[@pineapplepenumbra]

We did General Studies at age 13 - 14, but there was no exam.

[@richardjohnson7379]

I’ve never even heard of a general studies course

[@morisan42]

@Xyre154 It's probably just a way for colleges to pad out their result, an A in general studies sounds better than a C in something else on the surface

[@orangew3988]

My college put every student in for the general studies exam. There technically was a lesson a week, but they didn't actually relate to the exam at all, so I never went. Rumour was the college got £500 for every student that passed, so it was worth the money just to make everyone sit it and take in the money for who passed regardless of any teaching input.
