This week's learning answered some questions I'd had earlier about what creates a polymath. My reading delved into a phenomenological study of several polymaths in order to draw conclusions about the upbringings and lives of these interdisciplinary learners. I was planning on continuing my edX course this week, but it seems I no longer have access to it which is kind of inconvenient. Regardless, I was planning on directing my learning more in the direction of this independent research I'm doing on polymathy so I am not too distressed about losing access to my course. I hope it's ok if I modify my studies in this way.
I'm approaching the end of this big study I've been reading the past few weeks, and I'm very happy with everything I've learned from it. I expect that the rest of the book will tie up some loose ends and then in the next weeks I will try to find some scientific literature that makes a direct connection between art and science because that's what I was most interested in when I chose this as my topic. My questions this week are about the advantages of studying art and science and I hope I will be able to find a similarly comprehensive studies about them.
Try to log in again. That has worked for other people this semester. I like the idea. So you want to focus on polymathy?
ReplyDeletePolymathy is one focus, but I'd say the overarching theme of my semester is new approaches to learning.
