It's a hard knock life for humanities majors, or so I've heard. A lot of these science classes say, "No prerequisites. Only high school algebra required," and then you show up for the first class and the professor turns to you and asks, "Do you know anything about general relativity? No? Well, sucks to suck. Enjoy this semester!"
It's hard to know what to expect for science classes, especially ones built for non-science majors. Professors are in a tough place; they want to make the material accessible to students, but they also want to teach you something new and stay true to the subject without simplifying to a point of falsifying. Some professors do it well and others... expect you to know the Theory of General Relativity on your first day.
I took a look at the approved list of science classes that fulfill the requirements, and even though I'm an astrophysics major, I cringed a little.
