Initial Blog Post

Hello fellow Science 200 people, my is Alex Rosencrance. I am a freshman from Grand Rapids, Michigan (yes, I do know thats a long ways away). I came to Penn State to get away from Michigan and because of family ties to the university. Also the fact that Penn State has a solid business school sealed the deal.

Now for the though question why did I take this class? To be honest I actually enjoy science, but I am incredibly tired of the daily routine of learning vocab, diagrams, and formulas and the reciting them on the test. The idea that this class would look at different and controversial topics sounded very interesting to me. The reason I don’t want to be a science major is because I want to enjoy life – this is why I am a business student. But I also know that my passion is in the board room and not in the laboratory.

Over the summer I got a new puppy, attached is a picture of said puppy. If you want more puppy action, check out the video. Alex

    Alex,

    I agree with you about disliking having to recite tedious details and facts about science just to get a good grade on a test and never really learning anything. I also like how this class makes you think and apply what you’ve learned to various situations. I love your puppy video, but this one can top it. Hope you like it!

    Hi Alex! I definitely agree with you. I enjoy science too, but I think discussing the controversial topics and how it connects to our society and us as people is way more interesting than the usual stuff you hear inside a classroom. I’m looking forward to this class because of that. By the way, your dog is adorable, and so is this video.
