	What is Science?
		Science is an intellectual activity carried on by humans that is designed to discover information about the natural world in which humans live and to discover the ways in which this information can be organized into meaningful patterns.
		Science consists simply of the formulation and testing of hypotheses based on observational evidence; experiments are important where applicable, but their function is merely to simplify observation by imposing controlled conditions.
		Science is the most subversive thing that has ever been devised by man. It is a discipline in which the rules of the game require the undermining of that which already exists, in the sense that new knowledge always necessarily crowds out inferior antecedent knowledge.

	David Y. Hughes and Robert M. Philmus- The Early Science Journalism of H.G. Wells: A Chronological Survey
		One group involves science education or science popularization; one expresses a more or less passive delight in the wonders and mysteries of science; and the third deliberately challenges received opinion by proposing novel or paradoxical ideas and backing them up with an appeal to science.
		Science consists neither in technical proficiency nor in pure knowledge of fact but in a method of discovery, and science teaching must impart that method.
		That is, when science enables man to take his bearings against the immensities of nature, his sense of wonder and mystery and his fine free, sense of enlarged vision may be overshadowed by a feeling of impotence amid inexorable forces (## 2, 43).

	Science Quotes
		Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
		Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
		Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

		In 1893 the college established its first museum, which was referred to simply as "The Museum" in Beloit College course catalogs.
		All science courses were held on the building's first floor, while the geology department shared the second floor with the museum.
		Even before the establishment of the museum, however, "visual pedagogy," or the act of teaching through the use of visual materials, was already a major element of the educational programs at Beloit.

	UMN Political Science - Graduate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		To put this simply, the Graduate Program is committed to educating graduate students whose scholarly work will be directed toward a focused area of study and informed by a wide range of intellectual interests in problems of politics and political science.
		This complementary emphasis on good teaching is reflected in the department's concern for the quality of its undergraduate courses, the responsibilities of its teaching assistants, and the required graduate seminar on teaching political science.
		Like the discipline itself, these features are in a constant state of transformation, but are always, we hope, aimed toward the best possible graduate education in political science.
