of each week, the lecturer for that week will hand out (and/or post
here) a homework question relating to the material in his/her lectures
for that
week. You are asked to turn in an answer to that question, no more
than one page in length (double-spaced typing) (it can be shorter), at
the beginning of class on the following Wednesday. This
response will be worth a maximum of 2 points. For late answers, we
will deduct 1/2 point per day. Questions and
anwers for
the current year (2008) will be posted below when available (and the date
each is posted will be listed); you will
get an error message if you look for questions or answers in advance.

the Monday
following a set of lectures, you are asked to turn in a work of roughly
one page in which you present or respond to the scientific material of
the
previous week as a narrative. This can take many forms. For example,
you might write a story as you would tell it to your mother or a
younger sibling. You might choose to include your own feelings about
the material from e.g. a philosophical or religious perspective. You
might write it in prose or poetry, or include some fantasy or art
(simple drawings fine!). The point is to give you the opportunity to
take what you have heard the previous week and work with it. |
