Those that do are often reserved for engineering students, so students in other majors cannot take them. Most of the science classes consist of large lecture courses where the professor lectures and the students are evaluated solely based on a few tests. Therefore, Tulane should offer small classes for students to take in order to foster innovative thinking. In these classes, students should be encouraged to discuss and challenge what they learn, and they should be given the opportunity to either theoretically or physically apply that knowledge to solve current issues.</span></span></span>

Therefore, large mandatory science classes should break up into smaller discussion groups at least once a month to discuss current innovation in the field being taught. Students will be presented with innovations related to what they are learning and they will be challenged to critique and come up with ideas to improve what they learn about by using the material learned in class. These sessions can be evaluated either based on participation, a group project completed during the session, or can serve as a source of extra credit.</span></span></span>

This can take many different directions. Students can for example complete their service learning hours with an innovative organization, create their own project, create a project as a group, etc. The opportunity to participate in such a service learning experience should be open to all students, not just those fulfilling a requirement. Therefore, this can serve as a resource for students across all faculties regardless of what they are studying and if they can take the class that corresponds to this service learning.</span></span></span>
