Friends Seminary is launching an exciting, year-long curricular innovation for its upper level science students. The course, Science and the Origin of Knowledge, is the first "distance learning" course offered by Friends Seminary, and will trace the peaks of humankind's achievements with an emphasis on the history of scientific and technical knowledge. Reading selections from texts and secondary sources, available online through the School's website, will be the basis for participation in discussions with the teacher via teleconferencing twice a week. Access to the teacher will also be available during on line "office hours."
Taught by Dr. Fred Schubert, former chair of the Friends Seminary Science Department, the course is designed to awaken in the student some sense of the vast sweep of change involved in the emergence of man from his modest beginnings to today's world. How did it all happen in such a short time?
For more information about this course, please contact Hassan Wilson, Interim Department Chair, at hwilson@friendsseminary.org or Wendy Wilderotter, Upper School Head, at wwilderotter@friendsseminary.org.
