Hello SC 200. My name is Dan DePaulo and I am from Wilmington, Delaware (pictured), which is about a half hour from Philadelphia. I am a freshman at Penn State but I also took classes in the summer. I am currently in the Division of Undergraduate Studies, however I hope to be in Smeal eventually. My reason for taking this course is because it was recommended to me by my academic advisor after I told him science wasn’t my strongest subject. In addition to that, it fits very well with my current schedule and doesn’t require that I wake up too early. As I mentioned before, science has never been my strongest subject so naturally I never entertained the notion of majoring science. Majoring in something that I don’t excel in, or find particularly interesting could make for a painful four years.
