On a somewhat similar vein, I remember in college thinking how unfair it was
that courses were offered called "Chemistry for Non-Science Majors". Even
the non-science majors called this "Chemistry for Dummies". Science majors,
on the other hand, were required to take the same English, History, etc. as
others. Now I think it would actually be a good idea to have something like
Literature for Science Majors or Writing for Science Majors. Instead of
being a "dumbed down" version, it would be literature, writing, history,
etc. that is actually relevant to science. Courses might include science
classics (Darwin, James, etc.), writing research papers, history/philosophy
of science.
Maybe I'm dreaming. Does any school offer this alternative?
