Abstract:
There is often a wide range of interests and backgrounds among students enrolled in any introductory course (7). This diversity led us to ask: Can a single introductory course satisfy the differing needs of these students? This paper describes the study of an introductory horticulture course in which both horticulture majors and non-majors are enrolled. The study evaluated the effects of the course on students' appreciation of plants, their thought patterns, and their knowledge of plants before and after taking the course.
