Science and Religion from Copernicus to Darwinism

Seminar, three hours. Are science and religion incompatible? It appears so, but struggles of scientists such as Darwin, Galileo, and Newton tell far richer story. Sometimes supporting each other, sometimes in competition, science and religion were, and remain, in constant dialog. Letter grading.

Grey bars are non-letter outcomes — P/NP, S/U, incompletes. They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

“Predicted” is shrunk toward the course average, which is itself shrunk toward the department — so an instructor with a handful of students sits near the course mean rather than topping the list.
