Science, Technology, and the Industrial Revolution
The objective for the assignment:
Synthesize the readings’ main argument, locate the readings in the overall course narrative
(what should the purpose of science and technology be in our contemporary world? And the
weekly topic), and raise questions that may be addressed collectively in the classroom.
Response should be between 300 and 400 words in length. Please see the attached folder with
the texts for each weekly assignment. Please write these in separate Word documents each
week in and save as Week 2, Week 3, etc…. There is no need for a title page or running head. I
just need to upload the Word documents weekly in to the submission program.
