So is a degree in journalism, and yet here we are.

  I ended up teaching lots of journalism majors Comp Sci 101/102 when I was in grad school. They took my course in droves because they thought it was the easiest way to get through the math requirement, which tells me that a lot of those students hadn't yet acquired a fact-checking habit! Given what I saw, I should not be surprised that there is a lot of bad science journalism out there.

    It could be that the department recommends that they take the class, not that they chose to take it themselves; many departments at my college recommend taking CSC120 to fill a prereq.
