To pull together some of the things we've been discussing this week today, the sciences and humanitites education can not be two separate entites. Education that explicitly represents this includes subjects like BioPsych, Anthropology, etc (science courses that overlap with huamnity courses=social sciences). In less ways, and less implicit ways, courses that integrate techniques from both sides are much more effective for student learning and engagment. For example, using metaphors (please also read the successive post as well as this article specifically on metaphors in the classroom setting) to anthropomorphize some things in chemistry to describe the different behaviors involved.
