Re: student debates on pseudoscience

I'm teaching a conceptual physics course at a
community college, and would like to have my students
debate each other on issues related to pseudoscience.

When you have time, I would be interested in hearing your reason(s) for
wanting to do this project. Given all the good physics concepts they
could be exploring, why use precious classtime to explore not-physics?

Best wishes,

Larry
