Smattering. Having trouble choosing a major?  Don’t panic.  A broad base of knowledge can be a good thing; science and art leaped forward in the Renaissance, when scholars studied many different fields and explored the connections between them.  But, unless you’re as brilliant as da Vinci, you’ll have to focus eventually, or you risk merely dabbling, picking up a little of this, a little of that, a smattering of each field, becoming a “jack of all trades, master of none.”  Smattering: just a little; or, superficial knowledge.
