2009-10 IU Ethics Bowl Team

The Poynter Center Announces Openings for the 2009-10 IU Ethics Bowl Team.

Each year the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions at IU sponsors one team consisting of five undergraduate students to travel and compete in the Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl. The competition begins with ten regional matches in the fall that feed the national competition, held in the early spring. The Central States regional, in which the IU team competes, will be on Saturday, November 14, 2009 at Marian College in Indianapolis.

The Ethics Bowl competition is presented annually by the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics as a method of involving students in deliberating about and seeking to resolve difficult cases and situations. The national competition, which draws together the top 32 teams from the regional rounds, will be held on March 4, 2010 in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics in Cincinnati, Ohio. IU won the national competition last year and in 2004.

At the national competition, the 32 participating teams compete in three rounds in the morning. The teams are given thirteen complex ethical and policy cases to study in advance of the competition, though they are not told what questions they will be asked about any case. For each match, one team is required to present a view on a case and then respond to questions from the opposing team and judges. Then the roles are reversed, and the opposing team presents an argument surrounding a different case, after which they respond to questions. Teams are evaluated at the end of each match for the quality of their arguments, responses, and counter-responses. The top eight teams advance to the quarterfinals, which are held in the evening.

Interested students should send their name, year, major (or possible major), along with a
statement of interest by e-mail, to:

Prof. Richard Miller (miller3@indiana.edu)
Director, Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions
IUB

Please reference Ethics Bowl in the subject line.

Applications will be reviewed starting on September 21, 2009. Students should include information about their coursework and background in ethics, along with any questions about the Ethics Bowl team that they may have. Team members meet twice a week from around late September until the November regional event. If they are successful in being selected to participate in the national competition, they will again meet twice a week from the time second semester starts until the March 4 event.

See the web site, http://poynter.indiana.edu/ethicsbowl.shtml for more information about the event and about previous teams.

Liberal Arts and Management Program (LAMP)

Attention Sophomores and Juniors:

The Liberal Arts and Management Program (LAMP) will be accepting applications from September 1 – October 1. Apply online at www.indiana.edu/~lamp

Are you interested in majoring in the College of Arts and Sciences but also learning about business, management and leadership? Do you enjoy studying multiple points of view? If you answered “yes” then LAMP might be the right place for you. What is LAMP you ask? LAMP is an honors interdisciplinary program offered by the College of Arts and Sciences in cooperation with the Kelley School of Business. It allows students the opportunity to have a major in the College but take classes in the business school that enhance management and leadership skills. LAMP students are drawn from the full range of majors within the College—from Biochemistry to Theater & Drama.

Changes to Extended-X Grade Replacement Policy

In April, the Bloomington Faculty Council amended the Extended-X grade replacement policy effective Spring Term 2010. The two important changes are:

1. The elimination of the restriction that the course to be replaced must have been taken in the first 45 hours of coursework;

2. Students must now apply for the grade replacement by the Pass/Fail deadline of the second iteration of the course, moved up from the previous Automatic W withdrawal deadline.

The Bloomington Office of the Registrar web site has been updated to reflect these changes.

Again, these two changes are effective Spring Term 2010. Although the Spring 2010 calendar is not yet posted on the Registrar's web site, please note that Pass/Fail deadlines for first eight-week, second eight-week, and term classes are included in the Official Calendar published there.

Themester at IU Bloomington

IU Bloomington’s first-ever themed semester to focus on evolution, diversity, change

IU Home Pages Article By Jennifer Piurek
http://homepages.indiana.edu/web/page/normal/11559.html

Indiana University Bloomington will commence its first-ever themed semester this fall with Themester 2009: Evolution, Diversity and Change. More than 40 related courses will tie in with the themes of diversity and evolution to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection and the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth.

Themester is grounded in the undergraduate curriculum and will draw parallels between different disciplines by offering a range of courses, performances and discussions surrounding related topics, said IU Professor Jean Robinson, associate dean for undergraduate education for the College of Arts and Sciences and director of Themester.

"It's an opportunity to connect learning inside the classroom with outside the classroom and find exciting ways to get students-particularly undergraduates-more engaged in thinking about serious problems, issues and concerns," said Robinson.

Themester is designed to offer students multiple opportunities to connect to the theme, starting with the wide range of classes for undergraduates. In addition to the 46 Themester-related courses -- which will outlive the fall semester -- there will be related theatrical performances on campus and in the community; special gallery and museum exhibitions; and speaker and film series and panel discussions. Speakers will address issues that include evolutionary game theory, the evolution of apes and monkeys, and the tension between evolution and faith.

"We'll have a philosopher who does work on evolution and creationism; a religious scholar who tries to find a middle path for people who have strong faith beliefs to show how faith can live side-by-side with evolution; and at the end, we'll have federal appeals court Judge John E. Jones III (who presided in a Pennsylvania case that determined intelligent design was religion and couldn't be taught in schools)," Robinson said.

"Students need to be exposed to big questions and big ideas requiring interdisciplinary knowledge that does not conveniently fall within individual disciplines," said Bennett Bertenthal, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "Themester is an exciting opportunity to imbue in students the importance of studying major issues from multiple perspectives that are addressed through educational activities occurring in as well as outside the classroom. We fully anticipate that Themester will become a very popular program attracting students throughout the campus."

Cardinal Theater Company will stage Inherit the Wind, a play based on the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial, during which a high school science teacher (John T. Scopes) was convicted for teaching Darwin's theory of evolution in opposition with Tennessee law. IUB's Department of Theatre and Drama will do a staged reading of Palmer Park, about "white flight" from Detroit in the 1960s, which will also be staged by universities throughout the Big 10.

Speakers during IU's Themester include well-known evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins (sponsored by Union Board) and Arthur Robson of Simon Fraser University who will give a public lecture titled "We Are Impatient Because We Die. But Why Do We Die?"

Special exhibitions will be on display at the IU Art Museum, Lilly Library, Kinsey Institute and Mathers Museum of World Cultures, while Myers Hall will have displays titled "Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle" and "Evolution" and Jordan Hall will display "Tropical Biodiversity."

"We don't want to shy away from controversy," said Robinson. "We embrace the idea that universities are communities where we need to explore ideas and consider lots of different sides and question things in a safe place."

VT: SURVEY OF SERIOUS GAMES
29718 RSTR 02:30P-03:45P TR ED 1250 Appelman R
NOTE: 15 seats are being reserved for FIGS.

This is one of the new "hot" topics in the gaming arena. EDUC-F 401 is a beginning level survey course for any undergraduate who is interested in exploring the realm of Serious Games. "Serious Games" refers to game-like environments where learning is a primary outcome and meaningful play is the process for gaining understanding. This course examines the potential of using games & simulations for the purposes of instruction. It addresses the social phenomenon of these immersive environments for their cognitive and affective impact on the users. Students will play video games, reflect on their impact in instruction, and design their own serious games. Students will then work in interdisciplinary teams to test games, and to explore the tools and skills necessary to function within an authentic development pipeline.

NB: Courses in the School of Education are "Outside Hours" for students pursuing a degree in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Exciting Fall Course: Mathematics from Language

We invite you to consider an exciting Fall Term 2009 course option: MATH-M 385, Mathematics from Language.

Are you fascinated by grammar? Would you like to learn some advanced topics in math that are motivated by contemporary linguistics? If so, please consider M385. It's an introduction to a number of math topics chosen from abstract algebra, formal language theory, logic, and probability. The emphasis is on learning the math, but all of the examples are from linguistics. And although the class will teach you to do proofs, it is not super-rigorous. It's not even intended for math majors. The official prerequisite is MATH-M 118, and courses such as CSCI-C 241 and COGS-Q 250 would be good to have as well. The real prerequisite is an interest in the subject.

New Career Course for Fall 2009

The Career Development Center is pleased to announce a new career course for Fall Term 2009.

The Art of Meaningful Work
ASCS-Q 377
Class Number 30180
3 cr
Wed. 6:00-8:30 p.m
WH 204
Instructor: Doug Hanvey (dhanvey@indiana.edu)

NOTE: THIS CLASS IS RESERVED FOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS WHO HAVE NOT TAKEN ASCS-Q 294.

Description:
In the 20th century, the illustrious psychologist and concentration camp survivor Viktor Frankl wrote: "The truth is that as the struggle for survival has subsided, the question has emerged – survival for what? Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for." Now, in the rapidly changing world of the 21st century and contemporary issues of economic, social, and environmental concern, most of us would like to find meaning in our work, and the sense that there is a deeper purpose to our lives. Each of us wants to serve the world in our own unique way, and yet it is easy to lose touch, or never really become clear about, what this might mean for us. In this course we will examine the idea that each of us has a “calling” or unique gift to bring into the world. We will ask questions such as, What kind of world do I want to live in? What are the personal gifts that I can bring into my work, and to others? What moves me to want to act? Through experiential and self-reflective individual and group exercises from a variety of perspectives, you will be challenged to deeply explore personal issues of meaning, spirituality, authenticity, purpose, creativity and service. The discussion component of this class will be emphasized, and you will be asked to dig deep in order to help yourself and your peers discover your own authentic way of being in the world of work, and the calling to which you are led.

Informatics High School Summer Camp

In case you know high-school age students who might be interestested in a summer learning opportunity, the School of Informatics will be hosting an Informatics High School Summer Camp.

June 21-25, 2009
IU – Bloomington

The Informatics High School Summer Camp is designed to give high school students the chance to interact with IU faculty/staff and students, and learn about the latest trends in information technology, the internet and Web design, networking, new media, databases, gaming and more.

Certificate in History and Philosophy of Science

The Department of History and Philosophy of Science has created a CERTIFICATE in the following subjects/tracks. This enables students to gain accreditation in History and Philosophy of Science by fulfilling twenty-five (25) interdisciplinary credit hours, thirteen credit hours in HPSC and twelve credit hours in other units, to be determined in consultation with the HPSC Director of Undergraduate Studies.

This program aims to give both undergraduates majoring in the sciences and undergraduates majoring in the humanities a unique opportunity to bridge the ever widening gap between the notorious “two cultures." The program is organized and administered within the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, but it also involves a wide spectrum of other units across the University, such as, for example, the Departments of Anthropology, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, English, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Psychology, Religious Studies, and Sociology, and the Schools of Business, Education, Journalism, and Public and Environmental Affairs. In this way, the program involves several different tracks integrating the sciences and humanities in a variety of ways: (1) Life Sciences, Health, and Disease; (2) Science, Communication, and the Public; (3) Technology, Science Policy, and the Environment; (4) Physics, Computation, and Cognition; (5) Science, Religion, and Magic.

Students must complete 25 credit hours – 24 hours of course work divided into eight 3 credit hour courses, with an extra credit hour given for a capstone research project. Four of the courses, totaling 12 credit hours, will be in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, and the remaining four, also totaling 12 credit hours, will be spread across the other curricular units involved in the program in accordance with the chosen track. Each student’s plan for a particular track must be approved by the Director of the program.

A core course in the history of science, offered every semester under the presently existing course number X102, is required for all students in the program. Three other HPSC courses, one of which must be at least at the 300 level, are also required. Four courses from other relevant units, adapted to the particular track elected by the student, will then complete the program. In non-HPSC courses, we require that at least one be at the 300 level or above. Four courses (including both HPSC and non-HPSC courses) will be at the 300/400 level.

For more information contact hpscdept@indiana.edu, or stop by Goodbody Hall, Room 130, or call (812) 855-3622.

Themester: “Evolution, Diversity and Change”

Themester is a College-wide initiative designed to create, explore, and encourage interdisciplinary opportunities for students, faculty and the community. For Fall 2009, the chosen theme is, “Evolution, Diversity and Change.” Within this program, a collection of courses have been identified by departments in the College for their connection to the current theme.
