For science students, physics classes offer students the physics knowledge they will need for their future science careers. What benefit, therefore, do non-science majors get from taking general education physics courses? In the study we are presenting, we investigated what non-science students find the most valuable from a general education physics class. We evaluated students’ responses to a quiz question asking them to articulate the two most important, interesting, or valuable things they learned from the course. We created a coding scheme to place these takeaways into the following categories: Scientific Content, Scientific Epistemology, Societal Applications, Underrepresentation in Science, Science Attitudes, and Pedagogy and Learning...
