Chafin says that as of last July, the computer indexing of crimes has been corrected and the difference should help to legitimize the computer system. "Time moves on and we have to be progressive. With the volume of work there's no way in hell that we can handle the work load manually," Chafin says...
...Professor of Science, readily acknowledges that his scientific colleagues at Harvard will seldom leap at the chance of teaching an elementary science course. Even the bait of a high status Core course is not enough to lure them to face the ignorant masses. But Wilson doesn't feel that way. He presents himself as "one of a minority" among the professors in his department who has supported the Core from the beginning...
Wilson will "describe how science is done," using examples from his current research--such as his studies of chemical communications among social insects--and relating them to human social organization. In this way, Wilson says he intends "to orient evolutionary biology against the background of social sciences." Before the Core, Wilson points out, a Natural Science Gen Ed course would "present a segment of knowledge and leave it up to the students to figure out how it might apply to broader social issues, if it indeed applied at all." But the Core proposes--and Wilson agrees--that Core professors...
...bring in his experimental colonies of South American leaf-cutting ants. In Nat Sci 6, Wilson was famous for a unique lecture-demonstration style--one that should adapt nicely to the new labs. He waves his arms above his head and zigzags about the floor to simulate the way the bugs use their antennae to sniff out trails left by fellow ants. Though this may strike some as collegiate show-and-tell, Wilson asserts that by introducing actual research to his students, they can gain exposure to the imaginative and active process of scientific experimentation, yet still "talk in terms...
Wilson concedes he eventually would have come to these conclusions on his own, Core or no Core, but certainly not as rapidly as this year. The Core also prompted him to give sociobiology special prominence in the course, as a way of associating biological studies with social science...
