ENGLRES A51 Annotated Bibliography

Undergraduate students from the six colleges of De La Salle University namely the College of Liberal Arts, College of Education,
College of Computer Studies, College of Science, College of Engineering, and College of Business have different collective qualities
in terms of the nature of their courses, study habits, and overall academic performance. These collective qualities lead to the formation
of stereotypes regarding the respective colleges.

This article focuses on how accounting and the humanities go hand in hand with each other. According to the text, a business student
would excel most in business courses wherein the core subjects are the hardcore math and sciences but when it comes to business
courses with liberal arts as a backbone, they start to have difficulties. The perspective that colleges cannot produce liberally educated
persons due to the fact that studying courses that are rigidly made up of pure business makes a student less of a critical thinker is
evident. The author wants to urge that business subjects provide discourse and explain technicalities yet the liberal education that one
gets from other business courses makes the student think, question, and see life in a different lens.

This article shows a survey on business students at 3 different universities. The study aims to know about business courses in terms of
social involvement amongst public institutions and private liberal arts colleges. The researchers believe that with the curriculum that
liberal arts colleges and universities provide and reinforce are essential to a student’s holistic development. They also hypothesized
that students with background in the liberal arts tend to be more socially involved and participative to their working environment and
are more opinionated towards various issues on their educational upbringing. The result of the study is inconclusive to what was
expected by the researchers.

Arts into an Advertising Course. Marketing Education Review, 16(1), 79-84. doi:10.1080/10528008.2006.11488943

This article focuses on the importance of the arts to the sciences. Skinner and Lawson believe that the arts should be integrated to the
curriculum of colleges because it provides a whole new perspective and way of thinking to business students, specifically advertising
majors. In turn, there is a better appreciation for the arts and its relevance to mankind that is not only contained in books and
classrooms but it can be applied in our daily lives. Fusing both courses together has been a struggle to achieve because of the difficulty
to find a common ground between these courses. The authors strongly believe in the power that the humanities have in order to shape
and influence people to expand their view on things.

This article discusses how the humanities and social sciences could be applied and fused into the curricula of many colleges and
universities. A main problem discussed by the author is the contrast of the content of the different disciplines and fields of the
humanities which makes it complicated for academes and institutions to integrate both humanities and other courses together. The
author said that even if there is a difference with both the humanities and the social sciences, wherein the humanities focus on culture
and humanistic outlook while the social sciences relay on empirical data, both the arts and the sciences can analyze the same data from
different perspectives. Its integration is a matter of a institution’s decision because according to Hager, the lines between the
humanities and the social sciences are slowly blurring.

According to Rozier and Scharff, you graduate with a liberal arts degree not because you want to master a skill but you want to be
more analytic and observant of the things around you. You want to be able to think and adapt to different situations handed to you.
This article shows the pros and the cons of having a liberal arts degree in the field of public health. The authors believe that a degree
in the humanities would equip a person with logic, reasoning, and a sort of competence within themselves that in essential to any field
that one could venture into. A problem one could phase thought is the lack of technical skills to venture into a specific discipline yet
that can be counteracted through higher studies. Being a liberal arts major, one upholds philosophies and ideals that are very useful as
one’s guiding principle in their future endeavors.
