The greatest challenge facing science and math faculty will be finding ways to make science and math interesting and relevant to an increasingly diverse student population. This challenge will be seen primarily in introductory courses since students in upper level courses will likely be at least somewhat interested in the subject and more homogeneous in ability. As with any challenge, there is great opportunity also. The opportunity is to demonstrate to more students that science and math are more than gee- whiz technology or boring cut and dried facts.
Science is full of beauty and creativity .
One of the best things about science is that it is constantly changing. Theories are - revised or changed. New techniques are developed. This ever- changing aspect of science needs to be incorporated to some extent into how we teach science. We can't allow our teaching of science to stagnate.
