6. Do you like to express yourself in writing?
If so, then you will do well in this class!
History of Science Online is taught 100% online: all of your contact with me and with your fellow students will be through writing.
Do you communicate best through non-verbal means, relying upon body language, vocal inflections, and incomplete sentences? If so, then this class offers you an opportunity to improve your writing skills and to practice expressing yourself more clearly through writing. Be sure to visit the Writing Center regularly to help you get into a rhythm and anticipate challenges before falling behind.
You may complete the entire semester without speaking audibly to anyone in the class, without meeting anyone face-to-face. That is why this course is so writing-intensive. Instead of spending many hours each week sitting in a traditional classroom, you will spend the same amount of time writing -- for your peers and for yourself.
Nearly all of the writing is interactive. We will rely upon
an online Discussion Board to communicate. You will be posting a variety of writing assignments to the
discussion board every week (mainly short essays and responses to peers) --
and you will be getting lots of support and feedback from the other students
and from myself all along the way. Many students find that this interaction
is the most fun and positive part of the class.
