...Methodological--general in that it examines the basic tools of a discipline. Such a course would explain the method for understanding the content of a field rather than the content of a field itself (for example, Hum 6) or would compare methodologies (e.g. Paul Tillich's course in philosophy and religion...
...sitting down, leaning over, slumping, and lying flat. But customers and patients, applicants and clients, all take a cue from their common mission, find a suitable code. Couples found in adoption-agency reception rooms affect an air of simple good taste (no jewelry other than religious medals), shun cigarettes, hum strains of lullabies every now and then. The same couple, accompanying their college-aged son to the admissions office of a select university, will dress with understated dash (a necklace of wooden, hand-painted beads for her, suede elbow patches and a Dunhill pipe for him), intersperse comments on their...
This all sounds quite fanciful because it is. So are the CRIMSON proposals. Not every Gen Ed course could or should be like Hum 6, Nat Sci 5, or Soc Sci 2. Nor should every Gen Ed course combine fields (these don't). In the natural sciences, Nat Sci 5 can exist because the models of DNA are conceptually much closer to the student's realm of experience and involve much less math than does, say, quantum mechanics. Devising a physics or chemistry course along the lines of Nat Sci 5 seems virtually impossible; the important modern problems are just...
Furthermore, I believe an argument can be made for a "content" course such as Hum 5 or Soc Sci 1. A large proportion of Harvard students were not exposed to this type of material in high school. In many fields it is assumed the student is familiar with Plato, Aristotle, or European history. Certainly the student should have the opportunity to acquaint himself with basic material of this sort, as well as basic techniques, in Gen Ed courses...
