To view the presentation, click on the file. After the introductory slide appears, click on the right pointing triangle in the center. This will start the presentation. Be certain the volume is on (mute turned off) and the volume is turned up to a comfortable level. You may then simply sit back and listen to the presentation as if you were attending the class which created these presentations. However, you have the advantage of being able to pause or rewind and review the presentation using the controls at the bottom of the screen. These recordings have been made “live” in class. When listening to the recordings and watching the slides, it is good to have the Study Guide, Chapter Diagram, and text in front of you to use as guides to what will be on the exam. If you wish to print out the slides, they are available in a file entitled “Power Point Slides”. These recordings, and the related Power Point slides, have been included for the following reasons: 1. It gives you a feeling of being in class, complete with stories, examples, and comments. 2. You get to know your instructor on a more personal level 3. You get to hear explanations of topics that may be difficult to comprehend otherwise. A fun way to listen to the videos: Rather than listening to the videos alone, if you have friends in the course it may be more fun to get together with pizza and popcorn and listen to them (like going to the movies). Pause the tape at the “Do You Remember” questions and discuss them among yourselves to see if you understand them. This is also a good time to take a break before continuing. CAUTION: Do not take the exam immediately afterward with the other students. You could be accused of helping each other with the answers, which is cheating, and everyone would receive a zero for the exam. Power Point slides: The Power Point slides are not “canned” from the textbook, they have been made by your instructor specifically to help you with the exams, and are the same ones used in the class presentations. Chapter Diagrams: Chapter diagrams are “Concept Maps” of the key concepts being discussed in lecture, test, and exams. The theory behind these maps is that you can remember a

NATS 1760 (B): Science, Technology and Society 2016-17 York University, Division of Natural Science, Faculty of Science ACW 109 Tuesdays 4:30-7:20 Instructor: Professor Hélène Mialet E-mail: Note: no “s” after “nat” Website: Main Office: Rm. 218, Bethune College Mialet’s Office: Rm. 310, Bethune College Office hours: Wednesday, 10-12. Anthropologists have studied tribes from all over the world, classified the most exotic customs, taken pictures of and documented familial relationships and the most complex cults, they have described art, rituals and popular traditions, but what about what we believe to be our most reliable and efficacious source of knowledge: Science? In this class, we will question what constitutes the basis of “our modernity” by trying to understand how science is done—its dynamics, its organization, and how it penetrates our social fabric and transforms it. We will begin by briefly studying the philosophers of science upon which much of the sociology and anthropology of science is based. Then, we will analyze what sociologists of science say about the functioning of scientific institutions. Afterwards, we will examine how historians and sociologists (through the study of scientific controversies) and anthropologists (through the ethnographic study of laboratories) have analyzed the processes by which “scientific truth” is produced. From here we will turn our attention to the representational practices—as well as the skills, gestures, instruments and genders of those—that make science. We will then examine the ways in which the design and use of technology (and artifacts themselves) embody important social assumptions. Are technologies, for example, gendered? What roles do users play in technological development? What is an appropriate or ethical use of technology and what is

It is the responsibility of the student to get missed work from the teacher and to turn it in by the agreed upon date. Late work (any work turned in after I have collected it from the class) will receive an automatic 20% deduction. If the work is so late that we have moved on to a different unit of study, a 50% deduction will be taken. Long term assignments will not be accepted late. Long term assignments are assignments with a due date of 1 week after the assigned date or as explained by the teacher. AR and long papers are examples of long term assignments not accepted for late credit. Have a cleared desk and store materials under your desk and out of the walkways. Water is allowed and welcomed in class. Absolutely NO GUM! You are given three passes per semester. You MUST have your OWN agenda in order to use a pass (no agenda, no use of pass).

It is expected that every student has a library book at all times throughout the school year and is reading on a regular basis. There will be four Accelerated Reading (AR) tests assigned each nine weeks- three of their choice and one non-fiction. Students must choose books within their reading level. It is expected that students read outside of class to complete this requirement. Late AR tests are not accepted.

CHAPTER 8 Risk and Return Quiz Questions True or False? The CAPM implies that if you could find an investment with a negative beta, its expected return would be less than the interest rate. The expected return on an investment with a beta of 2.0 is twice as high as the expected return on the market. c. If a stock lies below the security market line, it is undervalued. Practice Questions 8. True or False? Explain or qualify as necessary. a. Investors demand higher expected rates of return on stocks with more variable rates of return. b. The CAPM predicts that a security with a beta of 0 will offer a zero expected return. c. An investor who puts $10,000 in Treasury bills and $20,000 in a market index fund has a net worth portfolio with a beta of .5. d. An investor who puts $20,000 in the market portfolio and borrows $10,000 of the invested funds has a net worth portfolio with a beta of 2. e. Investors demand higher expected rates of return from stocks with returns that are highly exposed to macroeconomic risk. f. Investors demand higher expected rates of return from stocks with returns that are very sensitive to fluctuations in the stock market.
