Physics For Future Presidents

On Planet College most students have learned to concentrate on courses which will lead to their degree.
Once a student finds a major their focus must necessarily be on completing the requirements as promptly as possible. This goal dictates their term schedules.

Undergraduates who are still in lower division or have not found a major have a somewhat wider base of choices for courses and this can be advantageous. Many students on Planet College who do not feel mathematically inclined shy away from any course which suggest a mathematical component.
Universitys attempt to ease these students' anxiety by offering 'survey' courses.

These survey courses do just that. They cover the subject generally offering the students an overview. These types of courses can enrich a student's education without requiring the time commitment difficult, at least for some, science course requires. One such course is offered
on one of the UC campuses. At the University of California Berkeley a student can enroll in Physics 110, a survey course titled, Physics for Future Presidents.

The intriguing title tells students here is a course meant for leaders. Most students value being regarded capably and the University acknowledges this in the courses title.

If your schedule is not yet set for next term possibly you might peruse the catalog or class schedule and find a horizon widening course such as this. It could be a welcome addition to your schedule, a refreshing glimpse outside your usual boundarys. Expanding your world view in this manner is a large part of the purpose of your experience on Planet College.
