Arguing
the Humanities is a course redesign project that seeks to integrate substantial
humanities content and texts into a required developmental course for STEM
students that focuses on close reading and analytical writing. The project goal
is to give STEM students broader exposure to significant works of the human
intellect and imagination, and to develop the habits of mind required to
analyze these works and write persuasively from and about them.
