Prerequisite: Junior standing and satisfaction of all lower-tier requirements in Scientific Inquiry Common Goals Addressed by Core course: 1. To understand what knowledge is and how it is acquired by the use of differing methods in different disciplines (2, 7, 17). 2.

To develop the ability to make sound moral judgments (1, 26). 4. To acquire the tools that are required to understand and respect the natural universe (5, 18, 27). 5. To be capable of integrating knowledge from diverse sources (28). Objectives of Core Course: 1.Students will acquire an understanding of scientific knowledge, and the nature of scientific inquiry. (2) 2 Students will acquire an understanding of research methodology used in the sciences. (17) 3 Students will develop skills of conceptual analysis and argumentation, relating especially to skills of thinking critically about scientific issues, methodological, theoretical, and ethical.(9) 4 Students will be able to explain, explore, and critically examine scientific views and issues clearly in writing. (11) 5 Students will be able to communicate thought relating to scientific views and scientific issues orally. (12) 6 Students will be able to develop a basis for interpreting and evaluating scientific texts. (13) 7 Students will acquire an ability to critically examine ethical issues in science. (1) 8 Students will be able to explain and critically examine the methodological foundations, and some theories, and theoretical and moral issues of modern science, and to apply this understanding to particular cases. (5) 9 Students acquire an understanding of scientific inquiry, and, using this foundation, students acquire an ability to evaluate scientific theories and scientific issues. (5) 10 Students will be able to differentiate between facts, hypotheses and theories, to describe how hypotheses are modified with further testing, to predict outcomes and formulate tests for hypotheses, to recognize that hypothesis formation and testing is part of their everyday lives. (18) 11 Students will be able to show that issues may be regarded from multiple viewpoints, and to provide and critically examine arguments for various different viewpoints. (28)
