<p>I’m under the impression language classes are among the classes where your actual presence is a requirement. At least in my class, the teacher is responsible for interacting with students, directing student discussion, collecting/grading/returning student work, etc.</p>
<p>And then there’s the issue of missing class at all. My roommate missed lectures (out of schedule conflict) in a class where his absence was unnoticed and a complete non-issue. However, he got a D from missing too much material. And the class covered a topic he would otherwise have had a knack at!</p>

That’s actually not that surprising. The coreq for globalization is simply concurrently taking a language. No specific language class is the requirement for globalization, so globalization does not have to avoid scheduling conflicts with any particular one. In fact, with so many classes suitable to be a globalization coreq, I might expect some to end up conflicting.</p>
