Why should we reserve a tool as powerful as science for just the science majors? My primary role at Elon University is to teach science to the masses. The courses I primarily teach are designed for students of diverse, non-science majors, plus I occasionally teach a couple of courses for biology majors. Some of the reasons I love courses for nonmajors:

• Chance to put science in the larger perspective and focus on how science intersects with "real life"
• Students with diverse interests often ask the most intriguing questions
• Less restrictions on what material we must cover

Courses I teach

• SCI 121 - Science Without Borders: introduces the biggest ideas across all of the natural sciences from atoms to the universe and everything in between. (I coordinate all SCI courses)
• SCI 126 - Journey Through Time: history of everything from the Big Bang, to the formation of the Earth, to the evolution of human civilization
• ECF 111 - Paths to Inquiry: first-year College Fellows learn to ask research questions in each of the three branches of the Arts & Sciences: STEM, social science, arts/humanities (I coordinate this team-taught course) (photos from 2015 trip to DC)
• COR 110 - The Global Experience: seminar for first-year students in which we examine public responsibility in a global context
• COR 456 - So you think you can save the planet?: an interdisciplinary capstone course that focuses on the interface of economics, the environment, and society
• Bio 101 - Topics in General Biology Lecture for non-science majors
