The course brings disciplines together, and has a total of 17 subjects to be discussed. These topics are centered on methods differentiating science from pseudoscientific beliefs, such as how strong the risk of vaccination is and how genes define destiny.
這門課程綜合了多門學(xué)科，共討論17個(gè)主題，這些主題均圍繞如何區(qū)分科學(xué)和偽科學(xué)展開，譬如接種疫苗的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)大嗎？基因能夠算命嗎？
It has attracted much attention, and been welcomed by students there.
"似是而非"課程在復(fù)旦校內(nèi)受到學(xué)生的廣泛關(guān)注和歡迎。

選課人數(shù)已經(jīng)超過1000人，相關(guān)微博話題吸引數(shù)萬名網(wǎng)友點(diǎn)贊。

授課講師樓紅衛(wèi)表示，許多受過高等教育的人，包括一些專家學(xué)者，也會(huì)有錯(cuò)誤的認(rèn)知，缺乏必要的判斷能力，因此開授此類課程非常有必要。
