The Galileo Game Begins Monday!

Starting on Monday, we will begin preparation for the Galileo game. For the first week of it, we will be meeting in McMicheal Science Building, Room 207. Your assignment for Monday is to read pages 1 to 83 in the Galileo game booklet. This includes the game introduction, the instructions, and the first two Appendices. You must do the assigned reading for this or the game will make no sense to you! Appendix A and B are particularly hard to follow, but do your best with this. On Monday, we will discuss the game and the writings of Aristotle.
