...with prerequisites can be approved to count for Core credit. Such courses, according to Lewis, “may not necessarily be designed for a general audience... A course may presume more background than students who do not have college-level background in something may have. For example, in quantum mechanics or organic chemistry—you’d clearly need background in those fields on the college level.”Under the current system, each Core bypass application goes through two rounds of inspection—first by a faculty-student committee within the department that offers...
...cook.Another reason to have compulsory foundational courses is because some courses are, well, foundational to advanced understanding in a discipline. This is particularly true in the sciences. Only with the key concepts developed in broad, introductory life sciences classes are we able to fully understand advanced topics in quantum mechanics and genetics.As our “red book” of 1945 was born from the ashes of the Second World War, Columbia’s Core was born amidst the optimism of the “Wilsonian moment” after World War I, when educators were conscious...
...Having a basic understanding of Albert Einstein's work with light waves, physics and quantum mechanics, I find it difficult to believe that we really can tell the distance light has traveled when we perceive it. I don't believe in the Big Bang any more than I buy the parting of the Red Sea. The supposed noise from the Big Bang could just be noise from everyday creation and destruction occurring in the universe. Unfortunately, a lot of science and religion has evolved into fantasies that provide grandiose explanations for questions that might never be answered. Richard Thomas Rowlett...
...insignificant we are in that respect. I was intrigued by the scientific community's fascinating discoveries of what happened after the Big Bang. I'm staying tuned. Vincent M.
