Science courses and the real world

"What many people do not readily associate “real-world applications” with is the real world."

Very interesting, very general, important point.

Also very interesting to think more about the differences between Bio 103 and "hard core science courses" ... what works/doesn't work for whom and why. Is the issue simply memorization, or "conducting the science", or being tested, or something more?
