The preliminary application deadline is December 1, 1999. Final applications must be received on or before March 1, 2000. No final application will be accepted unless a preliminary application has been submitted first. To allow adequate time for course review and revisions, early entry is encouraged. Introductory workshops are designed in coordination with the Course Competition to assist in the development and enhancement of science and religion course syllabi and teaching methodologies.
Advanced workshops assume familiarity with historical, philosophical and pedagogical issues.
These workshops are designed to go beyond the preparatory goals of the introductory workshops and include examination of frontier issues in science and religion. Late submission of the preliminary application will be accepted only with attendance at one of the winter workshops. 3 Guidelines for Completing Course Competition There will be great diversity among the proposals the level at which the courses will be offered, the types of students enrolled, the institutional context, and the expertise and interest of individual teachers. No uniform pattern will fit all situations, and the criteria are broad enough to allow for these differences. The content also may vary, although this Course Competition does not cover all combinations of science and religion.
