HIS 201I - A Global History of Science, 3 credit hours

Prerequisite(s): ENG 131
This course traces the history of science as a global process of discovery in which new scientific ideas, methods, and technologies emerge from different international cultural contexts at different periods of time. The course presents the writings of scientific thinkers and asks students to reflect on how culture affected these thinkers’ ideas and reception of those ideas. The course also teaches writing through a developmental process, in which students write essays in response to prompts and primary course readings, receive feedback, and revise.
