³GENERAL COURSE OBJECTIVES ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³This course is designed to emphasize logical, scientific ³
|
|
³methods as applied to claims of paranormal experiences. ³
|
|
³Accordingly, we will stress the applications of logic and ³
|
|
³the testing of both perceptions and hypotheses in examining ³
|
|
³these claims. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³SUBJECT MATTER ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³During the semester, we will focus our attention primarily ³
|
|
³on the questions of UFOs/extraterrestrial life and ³
|
|
³spirit/ghost phenomena. We will also investigate various ³
|
|
³other psychic phenomena, such as ESP, the Near-Death- ³
|
|
³Experience (NDE), reincarnation, astrology, and related ³
|
|
³ideas. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³PRESENTATION METHODS ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³The subjects will be presented from the positions of both ³
|
|
³believers and non-believers in the topic at hand. Such ³
|
|
³evidence as can be found will be presented in favor of, and ³
|
|
³against, each position. It will be the responsibility of ³
|
|
³the student to apply critical reasoning and unemotional ³
|
|
³judgment to each topic. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³Videotapes and films will be used. When possible, persons ³
|
|
³who have seen a UFO, or who have experienced near-death or ³
|
|
³other unusual phenomena, will visit the class and tell their³
|
|
³experiences. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³EVALUATION AND GRADING ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³There will be two tests and a comprehensive final exam. ³
|
|
³Tests will be in short-answer format as far as possible. ³
|
|
³However, there will necessarily be discussion questions in ³
|
|
³which the student will be expected to analyze the case for ³
|
|
³or against a particular claim and to present a reasonable ³
|
|
³basis for his position. ³
|
