@emptywheel I'm supplementing with a bunch of material on climate change and evolution, but an OK syllabus is https://goo.gl/CsG1W9
@mglerner Wow, that's awesome! And Randall Munroe!!
This is for non-science majors, to make them love science or at least not be turds?
@emptywheel Munroe is great answer to "can I think scientifically about even absurdities?" dunno if I can get them to love sci but I'll try
@mglerner Not sure if you know, but I hated science in high school, even tho I got all the science awards. Too boring. This looks fun tho.
@emptywheel I did not know! Great, exciting science teachers are pretty rare in HS.
@mglerner D thinks if I had just taken non-Euclidian geometry I might have gotten hooked. Bill Binney almost got me interested too once.
@emptywheel I'm pretty sure not a single mathematician fell in love with the rote calculation we call high school math :-/
@mglerner Yeah but I was bored w/it. Reviewed problem sets morning of test and aced them. Got bribed to do contests by getting to skip tests
