Scientific Revolution

The objectives of this assignment are:
1. Choose a moment in the Scientific Revolution
A moment is a point in time when an important contribution was made to the scientific
method. It can cover anything from before Galileo to today.
2. Describe the importance of the moment
3. Discuss the importance of that contribution

The evaluation criteria are:
Quality and depth of the information provided
Accuracy of the information provided
Quality of the visuals
Clarity of the visuals and of the overall deck
Strength of the argument
The argument you need to make in he assignment is that the moment you have chosen
made a significant contribution to the Scientific Revolution.
Remember that a person is not a moment. I do not want to give specific examples
because I will get a slew of assignments on the example I gave. I will give you an obscure
one which none would likely consider.
Jacques Derrida is the father of post-structuralism. You cannot write about Jacques
Derrida. But you can write about when Derrida presented “Structure, Sign and Play in the
Discourse of Human Science” at a Colloquium at Johns Hopkins University and got
international recognition.
