You should watch the film, “The Revisionaries”: see the Films folder on the Course Content page. You should also read the article in pdf entitled “Non-Overlaping Magisteria,” by Stephen Jay Gould, which is attached here.
This film reports consists in answering two essay questions that will ask you to reflect upon the materials covered during the course. You should carefully prepare well-written answers to the questions listed below. You must submit one single document in Word with both answers. Please, do not quote: you must use your own words and paraphrase (if you do quote, points will be taken away). No research is necessary for you to complete this assignment. Remember, I have a zero tolerance policy for plagiarism. Both questions must be answered in one single document in Word to be uploaded on Turnitin.com.
1) Explain your understanding of the the content of the film by a) writing a few words (one paragraph maximum) about what the central issue/focus of the film is; b) list and discuss the claims that the filmaker is making about that central issue throughout the film When answering, make references to both the textbook and this film. You should go right to the point(s) and use about 3 double-spaced pages. (Beware: answers that are too short might result being incomplete and too superficial). (70 points)
2) Explain in your own words, using key passages of the course’s materials, and key passages of the short text “Non-Overlapping Magisteria” (no quotation allowed) how the content of the course might eventually help you make an analytical assessment of the filmmaker’s claims, and of the actions of those depicted in the film. You should use 3-4 double-spaced pages to answer this question. (Beware: answers that are too short might result being incomplete and too superficial). (70 points)
