To enrich our coverage of this material, we will also study several secondary topics, as shown. The positioning of these, after each main topic but just before each Student Day , gives you time to write your papers and prepare your oral presentations, as you can see from the rightmost column. Please arrange to be available for as much of the afternoon as possible. There will be breaks, and refreshments will be served. If there is enough interest, there will be a field trip on Friday, March 13 .
Readings Reading is an integral part of any humanities course.
These readings, mostly book chapters and a few books, are available in the bookstore or will be xeroxed and handed out in class. You are expected to complete the readings on time and be prepared to discuss them in class. These readings also constitute the primary source material for the three short papers that you will write. Leonardo Da Vinci, Leonardo on Painting , translated by M. Kemp and M. Walker, Yale University Press, 1989. Kuhn, T.S., The Structure of Scientific Revolutions , second edition, enlarged, University of Chicago Press, 1970.
