Learning Goals
[Link to PlayPosit]
After this lesson, students should
- Critically examine a piece of contemporary research and pose meaningful questions to gauge the validity and limitations of its results.
- Flexibly invoke and synthesise course concepts in a real world dialogue on science and society.
Context
This is the first of several lessons involving guests. We typically invite a social scientist to share a recent published study of theirs, to be read by students ahead of time and discussed in groups during section. Questions and comments generated during the section will then be collected, a few of which will be posed to the guest during the live plenary. Students are encouraged to base their questions on particular course concepts introduced thus far.
| Blind analysis is a common and easy topic to criticise on, however the students should be reminded that it is not yet widespread in many fields of science, and perfectly valid scientific results can still be obtained without it. |
Recommended Outline
Before Class
- Invite a guest speaker at least one month in advance, consulting the whole teaching staff for ideas.
- Send the article by the guest to students several days in advance and remind them to read it before the discussion section. A briefly annotated version should be made to make it easier for students to skim it and pick out the important information.
- Prepare a seating chart.
- Review PlayPosit and discussion questions and ask faculty, Gabriel, or Emlen any questions you have.
- (Optional) Prepare a presentation.
During Class
- (5 min) Come up with some fun way to assign the roles of spokesperson and notetaker (e.g. earliest birthday in the year, lives furthest from campus). Remind them of the responsibilities of these roles.

- (5 min) Collect questions for plenary.
After Class
