Paradigms and normal science

[Surlethe]

Wouldn't you need math prereqs for Physics I and II?

Yes. The absolute, bare minimum required for a somewhat meaningful physics class is trigonometry: without it, you can't deal with vectors, and without vectors motion is restricted to one dimension. To really appreciate physics, though, you need to be able to bring the full descriptive power of multivariable calculus to bear on the problems. You'll find differential and integral calculus somewhere in between on the "getting stuff out of it" scale: they're better than trig, but you won't get as far as if you can apply vector calculus and its ilk to the problems.

I wonder if you people are aware that humanities majors must already take a full science credit.

The problem is the kind of class that most universities will accept for this requirement. Many universities allow you to take psychology as a science credit, thus making the whole exercise meaningless.

At my school, Psyche was under the "category D" general ed. (9 units required). Category C (another 9 required units) was the more hard sciences. Unfortunately, it contained stuff like Astronomy where basically all you had to do was memorize a star chart. It was almost like students were ENCOURAGED to sleep through that class, sitting in a dark planetarium for an hour listening to the professor drone.
