Shortened path to inquiry Helping the dedicated Faculty senate votes to simplify scientific inquiry requirement

By Thomas Alberts asst. news editor I The Signpost

Beginning next school year, students at Weber State University will no longer be required to take separate classes to fulfill the scientific inquiry requirement for Bachelor of Science degrees. The university is now asking depart­ ments that offer BS degrees to make sure that the classes they already re­ quire contain some elements of sci­ entific inquiry within them. The idea was brought before the faculty senate, which subsequently allowed it to go forward. "When we redid the Bachelor of Arts and BS requirements, the BS had to have some sort of significant course that dealt with some of the skills that would be dealt with in a scientific in­ quiry class," said Faculty Senate Chair Colleen Garside. Garside went on to say that the rea­ soning behind the change was that there was some confusion regarding what the requirements were for BA and BS. The idea was not so much to fix something that was broken as to make PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY CRYSTAL CHARRIERE | THE SIGNPOS'I something more clear for students.

September is Self-Improvement Month, meaning it could be the right opportu­ nity to motivate those students looking to change any aspects in their lives they've been wishing to improve upon. One realm of self-improvement could be handling stress and relationship problems better. "The biggest stressor I see is that our students are busy," said Student Wellness Center coordinator Hanalee Hawkins. "Time management is really, really hard for them they have a lot of pressures. The other thing I would say is I think some­ times we have unrealistic expectations for ourselves, and we need to start smaller.
