Course Descriptions for CSI: Cyborg Society Investigation
-
Anthropology 201 with Discussion,
Introduction to Cultural Anthropology,
(Kathleen Saunders)
5cr, SSC, CRN: 41505
The study of societies that contrast with Western civilization, leading to an acquaintance with the concept of culture and its importance to an understanding of human behavior. Emphasis on understanding each culture from its own point of view rather than from our own.
-
Biology 101 with Lab,
Introduction to Biology w/lab,
(Georgianne Connell)
4cr, LSCI, CRN: 42677
Major ideas and processes of modern biological science at molecular, cellular, organismic and community levels; stressing qualitative and quantitative dimensions of the discipline in lecture, laboratory, field and discussion settings.
-
Seminar 101,
Perspectives on Learning,
(Karen Casto)
2cr, CRN: 43825
If machines replaced parts of our bodies and brain, would we still be human? With such machine enhancement, is it possible for humans to live forever? In this seminar students will learn to think critically about the relationships between biology and human culture. Human consciousness, genetic engineering, and machine intelligence will be explored in the context of movies and books written about the time when the borders between machines and humans have become blurred.
