Details: Answer both questions with an essay of 4 pages in length (at least 2 pages per question). Your answer should demonstrate mastery of the course material from lectures and readings. Consequently, YOU MAY NOT USE MATERIALS FROM OUTSIDE OF THE COURSE. I WILL PROVIDE THE LINKS TO THE APPROPRIATE MATERIAL ALONG WITH THE PDFS OF OUR READINGS. You can also use our course textbook, “The Beginnings of Western Science” by David C. Lindberg (2nd edition) please make sure to provide citations as appropriate.
Remember to begin your essay with a well-formulated thesis. Then use material from the course to demonstrate your argument. It is important to indicate the significance of the evidence you present. In other words, don’t just list facts, tell me what they mean.
