0) How to coordinate with other spring science classes? Consider waiting a year or two before exploring that.

1) Should there be a standalone library research project or just what's required of each unit? Current thinking is no, consider what they would get from that and incorporate as much as reasonable in the units.

  • Vetting on-line resources
  • Developing an annotated bibliography
  • Citing sources

2) How to support the software stack. Just on the Macs, Macs + Windows, Mac + Windows + ACLs? USB jump drive with software on it for N platforms?

3) In Silico is designed to meet Earlham's Analytical Reasoning general education requirement, specifically the Quantitative Reasoning component. The full description is here: http://www.earlham.edu/curriculumguide/academics/analytical.html

Or should we consider the lab science designation? More useful for the students?
