Abstract
General education in the Nigerian Universities cut across various discipline ranging from politics, ethics, literature, language, culture, science, technology and mathematics. General education courses are aimed at producing graduates who can make their professions relevant to contemporary problems and needs of the Nigerian society. Each student in the University is therefore, required to have a general knowledge of each of these fields. Consequently, this brings about the inclusion of a large number of students together in one classroom, thereby leading to overcrowding. This becomes stressful to both the students as well as the teacher. This paper therefore discusses challenges faced in teaching the general education courses and also examines if e-learning can aid the effective teaching of general education courses in Nigerian universities.
