Series 3 - Teaching

0.04 m of textual records (4 files)

Series primarily consists of records documenting the Stowe-Gullen Stream of the Vic One Program which was designed and co-taught by Dr. Baines between 2005 and 2018. The Vic One program at Victoria College was created to provide select first-year undergraduate students with a unique close-knit academic experience and mentorship opportunity within a designated academic stream. Each stream features small seminar classes of no more than 25 students in addition to weekly plenary sessions consisting of guest lectures from professionals and professors in a variety of fields. The Stowe-Gullen Stream designed by Dr. Baines consists of two year-long courses aimed at fostering an interdisciplinary perspective and foundation in critical thinking, research and writing skills in the life sciences. Topics include ethics, statistics, rhetoric, and the philosophy of science.

The series begins with a file consisting of materials that were removed from a binder titled “VIC 170 2011-12” followed by two files containing related lecture materials. The binder’s contents were kept in their original order. Materials include agendas, minutes, and plenary session schedules and notes related to the Vic One Program; a syllabus, class schedule, lecture notes and presentation slides, and reference materials for Dr. Baine’s course, VIC 170: An Introduction to Probability, Persuasion, and the Rhetorics of Science; and a syllabus for VIC 171: Methodology, Theory, and Practice in the Natural Sciences taught by Professor Brian Baigrie.

Series also includes lecture notes and reference materials for a lecture on Rhetoric and Medicine given at the Massey Grand Rounds Symposium on October 10, 2007. These materials are arranged at the end of the series.
