I got the impression you just had to take the class to graduate, and it sounds like it's the equivalent of a half semester elective that some colleges are now requiring students to take, only this one would be mandatory for some. It's not a major inconvenience, pretty much all you have to do is show up. I bet others with kids in college have heard about these short courses. My daughter (who almost didn't receive her diploma from high school because, get this, she didn't put in enough community service hours) transferred from one college to another. In the first, freshman year, all incoming students had to complete half a semester of Basic Computer Skills. Think about what the average computer saavy kid today might have to say about that requirement. In the school she's in now it's 8 weeks of Health. No books, no credit, P/F final exam. If she attends and learns nothing I will still be happy because it's time the delinquent boyfriend won't have his paws all over her.
