My favorite class that I am taking is Science and Society. It's primarily a class for non-science majors but anyone can take it for a gen ed elective. My sorority's faculty advisor actually teaches it. He is also a professor in the department I'm in. I knew about the class when I came to college and I recommended it to a friend who was looking for a science class. She absolutely loved the class. I had no intentions of taking the class basically because I thought that I was "above" the other students (being the science major that I am...lol). Then I found that I needed to fill a spot on my Tuesday and Thursday schedule so I added the class. It's actually turned out to be the most thought provoking class I've ever taken. We are encouraged as students to think outside of the box and to participate fully in discussions. We have watched movies on modern day plagues such as malaria, ebola, and AIDS. Another movie was about stem cell reserach and cloning. We have talked about biowarfare, patients' rights, and some other really interesting topics. On top of that we have weekly readings that deal with current topics in science, government, religion, and various other topics. I will hate to see the semester end because I'm actually enjoying going to this class.
