Universities only study academics.
In the concept of the older generation of parents, the university is a sacred place and a place to learn knowledge. They don't think cooking should be studied in universities. Children in many cities don't even know how to fry eggs. At school, they just eat in the canteen, order takeout and make instant noodles. I think universities should not only attach importance to theoretical study, but also cultivate students' self-care ability. So this course is worth popularizing.
Cultivate students' hands-on self-care ability
In the eyes of parents, children are everything. Children in cities, in particular, seldom come into contact with housework such as washing and cooking before college. Universities are about to enter the society. The knowledge just learned from the university is not enough to stand on the society. Besides theoretical knowledge, practical ability is also needed. After graduating from college, I can't even cook, which is a bit unreasonable. This course just gives students the opportunity to get in touch with cooking.
One more skill is beneficial to society.
College students are all adults and can't be children anymore. If you can learn to cook in college, you can show it to your parents when you get home and let them know that your child has grown up. After entering the society, it is inevitable to communicate with friends and colleagues. Being able to cook a meal for them in person can also enhance the feelings between friends. It is also very helpful for your future development.
To sum up, I think this kind of course close to life is worth popularizing, and I think this kind of elective course is more valuable than music appreciation class.
