#1 Group
discussions are so chur. Moreover, the teacher always disclose the reflective
journal and term paper questions very late.
#2 實際要交既野其實係一篇RJ +
Term paper + 5個quiz，但係佢本身好chur，要做好多preparation
tutorial discussion先會講得達到佢要求 #3 要讀得好仔細，每堂要講野，Quiz問得好刁鑽 #4 內容同FN教科書一樣，正路，tutor discussion要睇過嗰個禮拜嘅chapter先至答得到問題 如果唔係就要靠groupmate答/臨時摷答案 答完佢可能會追問
Quiz睇完textbook做買blackboard嘅reading guide啲MC都滿分到嘅
reflective journal 同 term paper都可以預先比outline同佢傾吓，比分方面我嗰個sem佢比咗5個學生A range (佢會印張Namelist有曬學生嘅名同相 (完咗add-drop佢會影學生啲樣) 所以tutor嘅時候佢都可以叫得出所有人嘅名) #5 如何定義「真」、點樣先係比較好嘅方法去prove一樣嘢嘅方法係唔係真(想hea讀但靚grade呢科唔適合你，想學到嘢又肯努力嘅不妨考慮下！利申文科人，讀科學相關文本一開頭係吃力啲，亦有人告誡我佢要求高難拎A。但老師教學熱誠同唔沉悶嘅講解令我有興趣用心讀，最後都A grade咗。呢個course影響我好深，大大開闊咗眼界。) #6 幾有趣

#1 boring and
chur. Don't choose Yip Lo Ming. Otherwise, you must regret it.
#2 chur，grade唔靚，要求好高。好努力仍然麻麻地成績 #3 要求極高，要落足心機先叫答到tutorial問題，講解正常，畀grade有啲緊，可能要求高 #4 教學清晰 易聽得明佢教嘅嘢，上堂唔悶但係唔會係搞笑嗰種 #5 老師好博學，教中國自然科學嗰陣用到中醫例子，而且好多文本佢都可以relate到去日常生活狀況，令本身死板嘅文本都變得更有趣；但係佢要求的確係高，要努力讀去爭取A range，不過真係學到嘢。 #6 一開始聽人講佢係killer所以都有啲擔心自己兩篇文爛grade，不過最尾個grade都ok。我覺得佢教得都幾好，上堂都唔悶，肯努力就一定有靚grade。

Description：
Humans have
long been curious about Nature. In the West, ancient Greek philosophers took
the lead in exploring the physical world and the world of life with reason
and hence laid the foundations of modern science. Scientists discovered
physical laws, the laws governing life and even ways of controlling life.
Implications of these discoveries force the humankind to re-assess their
understanding of human understanding. On the oriental side of the globe,
Chinese philosophers developed a different view of Nature. The comparison
between Western and Chinese views will contribute to our understanding of
both.
This course
invites students to explore how the humankind investigated, understood and
changed Nature, to study and compare the development of science in Western
and Chinese cultures, and to reflect on the humans’ place in Nature. Students
will be required to read, discuss and write about a wide range of texts in
philosophy, science and its history. Reading materials will be selected from
influential literatures. Emphasis will be placed on students’ capacity to
respond critically to these texts in written as well as oral presentations.
