New: Science and technology were central in shaping
the United States in the past century and made the country a world power. How
did this happen and what was the role of education, industry, and government in
making this possible? While the emphasis is on American developments, this
course considers global issues with particular attention to the surprising
parallels - and significant contrasts - to Russia, from a fascination with
modernity to space age competition. With attention to cultural issues and
ethical context, the course includes short readings, films, online assignments,
one-page response papers and an ethics project. Old: In the
twentieth century, the United States became a leader in science and technology.
Course examines reasons for this success and also the ways in which those
activities raised ethical and social concerns. |

Darwin's theory of evolution in the scientific community and beyond. We'll
examine and engage the controversies that have surrounded this theory from its
inception in the 19th century through its applications in the 21st. What made
Darwin a Victorian celebrity, a religious scourge, an economic sage and a

theory development; study the changing and dynamic relationship between science
and religion; and critically analyze the application of Darwin's theory to
questions of human nature and behavior. Old: Development of
evolutionary thought in 19th/20th centuries. Emphasizes Darwin's theory of

Student Learning Outcomes: |
* Student in the course:
- Can identify,
define, and solve problems
New: Please explain briefly how this outcome will be
addressed in the course. Give brief
examples of class work related to the outcome. Problem-solving is
central to learning Physics. Lecture and reading introduce concepts and the
students apply these concepts through weekly assignments, learning how to
evaluate which principles and techniques are applicable in various
situations. How will you assess the students' learning related to this
outcome? Give brief
examples of how class work related to the outcome will be evaluated.
Students are provided sets of problems to solve weekly, some of which are
graded and others are available for individual practice. Three quizzes
consisting of complex problems are used to evaluate problem solving skills
related to different areas throughout the term and a problem-based final exam
is used to evaluate overall mastery of course objectives. Old:
