HSSC 504 Reading Seminar in the History of Science
Offered:Fall 2008
Adams W 1-4
This seminar will survey the emergence of science “from Plato to NATO,” and is aimed at preparing members to design and teach an introductory undergraduate lecture course surveying the history of science for general undergraduate, freshman, and/or lay audiences. Seminarians will be expected to audit attentively the lectures for the undergraduate survey course (STSC 001, held Mondays and Wednesdays, 11:00–12:00, in Claudia Cohen 402). These will provide central ideas and general background, and each will also exemplify one variant of a lecture covering an obligatory area or topic. The seminar sessions themselves are designed to form its members into a collective “working group” that will work its way through the material.
