We’ve made a few changes to STS subjects for AY2010-2011:
- Added a new HASS-D/CI-H subject, STS.009 Evolution and Society.
- Updated the name of STS.011 to “Ethics and Politics in Science and Technology” to reflect the change of the subject matter from an American focus to global.
- Added the CI-H desgination to STS.003 The Rise of Modern Science(already a HASS-D/5).
- Renumbered STS.022 Technology in History to STS.007, and added HASS-D/5 and CI-H designations.
- Renumbered STS.045 Technology and Experience to STS.008, and added the CI-H designation.
- Changed the name of STS.091 (a required subject for STS minors and majors) to “Critical Issues in STS” and increased it to 2-0-10 units. It will be offered in the spring. Since STS.092 was essentially the same class, we dropped it from our class lists.
