Why should we reserve a tool as powerful as science for just the
science majors? My job is to teach science to the masses,
plus I occasionally teach a couple of courses for science majors.
Some
of the reasons I love courses for nonmajors:
- Students with diverse interests often ask the most intriguing questions
- Less restrictions on what material we must cover
- Chance to put science in the larger perspective and focus on how science intersects with "real life"
