WASHINGTON (Reuters) - College science lectures are a big bore to students and need to be replaced with hands-on classes where they can actually learn better, a team of experts said on Thursday.
"Revolutionary" courses that mimicked the way real scientists actually work -- by doing science instead of reading about it -- actually helped students learn and encouraged them to take more science classes, the experts said.

I only took one college science -- Biology 100 with Dr. Lewis -- interesting because it was environmental science but it was very very little hands on. I never saw the labs unless I took a walk around the building.
