i. I’m taking this course because my DUS advisor told me that this would be a good class for me to fulfill my natural science Gen Ed. These topics are much more intriguing than calcualting the weight of a atom or the speed of a ball thrown down off a cliff.
ii. I’m not a science major because I struggled in Physics and Chemistry a lot in high school. Instead I’m trying to get into the Smeal School of Business and probably going to major in marketing.
I am interested in majoring in marketing, as well! I also took this class to fulfill my general education requirement, and I agree with you when saying this class sounded a lot more interesting than calculating speeds of balls thrown off cliffs, or researching and learning about atoms.

Goodluck freshman year!!
