The most fun of them was an interview with a person over what love and sex means to that person. The other two assignments were essay take home tests based on material covered in lecture and readings. This is not your typical science evolution course. Here, one learns the history of the debate over evolution and to be able to critically think and question arguments for and against evolution. Will Provine is always excited about the topics of his lectures and never has a dull moment in his class.
Section is the forum by which students discuss and debate the issues.
There were three relatively difficult papers scattered throughout the semester and about 5 required books that for the most part made for good reading. This course, especially Dr. Provine has made me really think about evolution as well as about meaning in my life. Thank you for teaching, Prof. Provine. I highly recommend this course for anyone who is interested in learning about the evolution of evolution. Topics include breast and cervical cancers, unhealthy behaviors, pregnancy and birth, and menopause.
