The Sophomore Tutorial
The Sophomore Tutorial (History of Science 97) is a hands-on course that introduces students to some of the most exciting and productive questions in the history of science, technology and medicine, while developing critical reading, presentation and discussion skills. Small groups of students tackle different aspects of a larger theme each week and share discoveries in sessions led by the faculty instructor. The course is further enhanced by a series of supervised individual projects.
Spring semester 2012, one of the group projects was the preparation of short descriptive video segments on the following suite of instruments from the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments:
- The Celestial Globe
- The Globe Electrical Machine
- A Gregorian Telescope
- A Standard Meter and Liter
- The Microscope: Its Early Structure & Use
