1.
Outline
How did science evolve? In this lecture, we will outline the history that modern science has been established from ancient times. In this later course, we will follow the history of science development by field, using "zusetsu kagakushi nyumon" as the text.
We also think about the relationship between science and society.
The students are required to participate in class, having an interest in the latest news of science and technology.
2.
Objectives
The students understand the brief history of the development of science and technology, acquire a "scientific" way of thinking, acquire “scientific literacy” and have interest in contemporary science and technology.
3.
Grading Policy
Students will be evaluated with two report assignments.
The report will be evaluated whether it is not copied from somewhere. I will return the report in class. If there are no more than two-thirds of attendance, no unit will be issued even if only report is submitted. We recommend active contributions in group work.
4.
Textbook and Reference
Textbook: "図説・科学史入門" Hashimoto Takehiko (Chikuma Shinsho).
We will use LMS to prepare for review.
In addition, resume will be distributed as necessary.
5.
Requirements (Assignments)
Please also look into news on science and technology, which is reported in newspaper, TV, Internet news etc. News on science and technology you saw during the week, please write down one that you were particularly interested in.
In each lecture, I will instruct what I want you to prepare and review in the next lesson.
Evaluation will be done in the report. So, please get used to writing the report.
I think that it takes about an hour for preparation review.
