These &#8220;lighter&#8221; science courses are a good way for students to meet the science distribution requirement without harming their delicate little soul. It is by no means restricted to non-science students. It&#8217;s more of a recommendation. So you&#8217;re free to take any one of them if you want to.<\/p>\n<p>That said, most of these courses are offered to the general public<em> precisely because<\/em> they&#8217;re not that &#8220;sciency&#8221;. Many if not most of them are <em>not<\/em> an important part of their respective programs (and their required course lists). Plus, I suspect that if you want to select a science major of any sort, these courses wouldn&#8217;t be good indication for the nature of the ?regular&#8217; course offering. But I may be wrong.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you&#8217;re interested in &#8220;the sun and its neighbours&#8221;, by all means go ahead and take it. But don&#8217;t be surprised if you get snarky remarks at the &#8220;The Structure of Early-Type Galaxies from the ACS Virgo and Fornax Cluster Surveys&#8221; conference. Those astrophysicists can be a pitiless bunch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>hi! im in my first year and im very wondering&#8230; i read the calender book and i have found some courses? : science\/social science distribution courses which are inteneded for only humanities or art students..? if im planing to take scinece program as my major,,then i can&#8217;t take these courses?????? are they really for only art and humanity students?? because before i take scinece program&#8230;i want to try some easy level which i think it is&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..thanks!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[117,6,59,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-choosing","category-courses","category-distribution","category-science"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1358\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
