Later in the semester, we will invite classroom teachers to the colloquium to share with the students their real-life experiences using these classroom materials. This course will present classical experiments and discoveries that served as the foundation of modern microbiology and immunology. Significant milestones, major figures, and their original writings will be discussed, as well as the application of the scientific method and the role of accidental discoveries in the progress of science. This course introduces ancient drama and some of its most effective modern interpretations. The emphasis will be on Greek tragedy, but Attic Comedy will be studied as well.
All readings are in English translation.
This is a course in critical thinking, empowerment, and working principles regarding cognitive, mind-body, and behavioral aspects of sickness and health. This class will have four mandatory Saturday field trips, and will meet on Tuesdays preceding each field trip. This course will introduce the student to the interplay between original source materials and the subsequent interpretations offered by historians. This interactive Honors colloquium focuses on the subject of leadership. Students will learn to recognize when leadership is a goal, understand how to achieve it and gain confidence in pursuing it.
