Course Description This course is intended for home school students at the high school level. It is a one-time, summarized version of my 12-week course. As such, it can serve as an introduction to learners who might be interested in a more robust learning experience. The following groups of students should find this course particularly useful: those interested in pursuing careers in astrobiology, specifically, or astronomy more generally; those interested in sci-fi, specifically, and literature more generally; and anyone more casually interested in the depiction of aliens in pop culture.
學習目標
Course Objectives:
To introduce, understand, and examine the Fermi Paradox and the search for extraterrestrial life and civilization.
To understand the different categories of proposed solutions to the paradox.
To identify and compare depictions of 'first contact' in pop culture and sci-fi literature.

About Me
I have a Ph.D. in International Studies and several years experience teaching undergraduate political science courses at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. I also have a lifelong obsession with the Fermi Paradox and am currently completing the final edits of the first novel in a comedic first-contact sci-fi trilogy. Additionally, as a social scientist, I will leverage the topic of pseudoscientific UFO conspiracy theories to demonstrate the need for critical thinking and a scientific approach to open questions.
