Question

Possible addition of more subjects?

Could we possibly add an earth science subject? If anyone has any ideas for other subjects they want added just commend below and hopefully we can get some of them added.

Answer 1

Earth space science isn't a bad idea, @Preetha @e.mccormick @Compassionate

Answer 2

I would love to just see a few big catch alls. We have Social Science, which covers a wide range of things from law to sociology to communications. A Physical Sciences catch all would also be nice. Then homeless questions in a wide range of topics would have a place to live.

Answer 3

I got the idea because I saw somone post and earth science question in math and then I relized there was no proper subject to put it in

Answer 4

If there is earth science there would need to be:
Physical Science
Life Science
And Earth Science

In my opinion there should be a Science Subject with a lot of sub topics c:

Answer 5

yup

Answer 6

The Physical Sciences includes Earth Science.

Answer 7

Oh
cx

Answer 8

The Sciences as categories
Formal: Math, Logic, etc.
Physical: Physics, Chem, Astronomy, Earth, etc.
Life: Biology, zoology, etc.
Social: Sociology, Law, Communications, etc.
Applied: Engineering, Computers, Healthcare
And the overlap catch all of Interdisciplinary Sciences.

Answer 9

Between those, History, Philosophy, and perhaos a couple others, you can cover every topic.

Answer 10

Hippocampus religion overlaps some Earth Science, too.

Answer 11

lel ik that not everyone might want it, but i do :P
dark magic <3 devils demons xD
i want to learn more about them, doesnt mean that everyone does ;o
will thats the topic that i want ^w^

Answer 12

How about a health subject?

Answer 13

There already is one.

Answer 14

There is?

Answer 15

Yep. Search for Health Sciences. You will find it.

Answer 16

We should also make an Etc section for like questions that don't fit into any other section...

Answer 17

Oh cause I have thrush. so idk

Answer 18

@TheSmartOne YES!!!!!!!!!

Answer 19

@TheSmartOne That is a good idea.

Answer 20

Thanks y'all. I have been having that idea for quite a while now...

Answer 21

Becasue I see questions that do not belong anwwhere so they end up in irrelevant topics..

Answer 22

Yea

Answer 23

What else?

Answer 24

I have seen TOO many users posting Earth Science questions in Bio, Chem, English, Mathematics(you get the gist), and so basically these questions are not having the place they need to be answered(an Earth Science section). I have no idea why this section wasn't made as Earth science is a huge part of Elementary/Middle school. But I think it has been long due past

Answer 25

There already is an earth science section.

Answer 26

how bout a subject bout careers, like mine is law, but there's no section.....

Answer 27

@Ilovecake No, there is a "Geography" section, which is sadly misconstrued as meaning Earth Sciences. Geography is an overlapping field between part of Earth Sciences and part of Social Sciences. A Physical/Hard Sciences would be a good catch all for Earth and more, but Earth Sciences would not be a bad choice.

I just wish they had made a small list of top categories and put everything below them as sub categories. It would be much easier to select what to track that way.

Answer 28

@Crissy15 Law is one of the Social Sciences, so there is a catch all for that.

Answer 29

@e.mccormick No I know there is a geography section. BUT there is also the Earth Science section.

Answer 30

@Ilovecake Use "Find More Subjects" and try and find it.

Answer 31

I already have it.

Answer 32

Well, it does not show up for anyone else, so I don't know how you found it.

Answer 33

I have it.

Answer 34

Then link it.

Answer 35

Answer 42

There is health sciences but no earth sciences...

Answer 43

I like the idea about etc. section. @TheSmartOne

Answer 44

How about a language section...

Answer 45

@TheSmartOne you mean:
http://openstudy.com/study#/groups/Language%20and%20Culture

??

Answer 46

Oh nevermind @e.mccormick sorry.

Answer 47

Hehe. It happens. There are tons that people rarley see.

Answer 48

Sorry I mixed it all up. You were right I thought the health science was earth science. @TheSmartOne

Answer 49

I mean @e.mccormick

Answer 50

Well, that was an un-healthy mistake.

Answer 51

Yes real funny.

Answer 52

Some good, ol' down to earth pun... I mean fun.

Answer 53

Idk why but I got earth and health mixed up.

Answer 54

If you are Asian there is the l-r confusion. And it might be just due to seeing earth questions show up in health.

Answer 55

^ XD

Answer 56

How about a feedback section where people need others feedback and suggestion..

Answer 57

How about a debate section??

Answer 58

We need to get preetha to look at this if we want anything to actually happen.

Answer 59

what are the "hippocampus religion" topics anyway?

Answer 60

http://www.hippocampus.org/

They had a bunch of sections on here.

Answer 61

cool, thx

Answer 62

I would like an "art section", I know there's the art history one and design, but what about simple painting, drawing, advices about quality colours etc.?

Answer 63

I think the design section is no longer just design and could be renamed Art and Design.

Answer 64

Thats a good idea @e.mccormick now we just need @Preetha to see this thread

Answer 65

Your puns @e.mccormick cx

Answer 66

lol

Answer 67

@camerondoherty I try. People tell me I am very trying.

Answer 68

@Camerondoherty , don't encourage him.

Answer 69

@Compassionate are you saying that people should not incorrige me because I am very incorrigible?

Answer 70

Don't worry @e.mccormick
We still support you.
Someday you two should settle it out.

Answer 71

@e.mccormick I just have this irrational fear that one day you're going to gain such a huge following, that you'll untie with morlb leaders... Then you'd really be incorrigible.

Answer 72

Why don't you use the Geography group for Earth Sciences? Should I change the name from Geography to Earth Sciences?

Answer 73

@Preetha Yes that would probably help because I personally didnt even notice that the Geography subject existed and when people want help with Earth Science they look for a Earth Science subect usually.

Answer 74

@Preetha Earth/Geo Siences would be far more general than Geography.

Answer 75

^^

Answer 76

That way even oif they start to type in Geology, it will pop up for the first 3 letters.

Answer 77

Maybe Earth/Space/Geo Sciences?

Answer 78

Well, a lot of space stuff is not going to be in Geo topics. There is a lot of physics to that.

Answer 79

Actually how about physical science that would cover all of them

Answer 80

Only if it had sub topics that showed up in the search. Otherwise people will search for Geology, Earth, or some term like that and not find it, so post elsewhere.

Answer 81

I am thinking of Earth Sci & Geo. What do you think?

Answer 82

That covers the searches and the topics nice and broadly.

Answer 83

I was thinking that maybe there can be different languages added, like French, German, etc. and not just Spanish.

Answer 84

Why don't we just ad subjects we might need in the future..

Answer 85

^^^^

Answer 86

@dragonmaster917 There is a language section for all languages.

Answer 87

dont forget swedish language thats the most important thing you know >_>

Answer 88

Social studies

Answer 89

There is a Social Sciences section.

Answer 90

Can u guys add french pls

Answer 91

There is a Language and Culture section that covers all languages.

Answer 92

oh lmao

Answer 93

Now, having several sub groups in there for the main languages of study... that would be nice.

Answer 94

Another good one would be "Other" in case someone needs help with something that we don't have a group for.....idk though

Answer 95

I like the "other" idea, @haleyelizabeth2017 but I think that people would just post random things on it...sort of like they do on feedback.
