wrong kind of SCORE

For those of you who set 7am alarms this morning to get an edge on SCORE’s reopening, here’s a look at some of the most sought-after classes for the fall of 2010. (Note: For our purposes, we’re omitting the six introductory/prerequisite courses with the highest enrollment, including CHM303, PSY207, ECO100, SOC101, PSY101 and PHI203. These courses receive record enrollment numbers every year, primarily due to their status as required department prerequisites).

REL261: Christian Ethics and Modern Society
Professor: Eric S. Gregory
Enrollment 178 (as of 9:30 am)

With enrollment at 158 last fall, this course promises to engage students with some of the major debates and conflicts of “Christian ideals of conduct, character, and community.” The course tackles major questions such as “Are Christian virtues and principles fundamentally at odds with the ethos of liberal democracy oriented toward rights, equality, and freedom?” We can see why over 178 students are eager to join Professor Gregory in pursuit of the examined life.
