Why wouldn't it? They have other classes as well, ones that DO require memorization or research papers. A three-hour course teaching the basics of how to best retain the info during class, how to take notes, how to "study" and understand concepts. Often it's the classes outside the major that causes a lot of "nuisance" for lack of a better word. I found that listening and taking notes effectively, and figuring concepts and theories in class, made doing homework easier.
As for studying and learning dates and terms, some people are not good at memorizing lists. In many majors, you will have a class or time when you have to learn a lot of definitions, formulas, dates, etc., usually in the 100 and 200 level classes.
Why would you callously dismiss something that gives you tools to learning? Not only did I do better at "passing the test", but I also learned to grasp things better. Saving time can help any person in any major. Why wouldn't it?
