    • The Trial of Galileo . HIST 104G

    Explores the creation of early modern scientific and religious knowledge by focusing on one of the most famous conflicts between the two: The Trial of Galileo. During this class students study the foundations of early scientific knowledge, read primary sources related to early modern understanding of the natural world, and seek to understand how conflicts between different regimes of knowledge have been navigated in the past. The influence of Galileo's trial on the perception of science and the Church in European history are considered at the end of the course.

    HIST104G . Bouley B A 4 Years Ago

    Covid forced Trial of Galileo to be online, but Bouley adapted to it as well as anyone could have wanted. Despite this class being specifically designed for interacting with classmates, doing it online was still extremely fun. If you get a chance to take it (or any one of his other classes), don't miss the opportunity. Absolutely fantastic Prof

    HIST4B . Bouley B A 4 Months Ago

    This class made me switch to a history major! Loved how clear the grading was. There is a weekly paper but it was short and didn't take much time and lowest two grades dropped. Tests were easy as study guide was given. The real reason I loved this class though was the way Bouley lectured, as he made lectures both funny and engaging.

    HIST121A . Bouley B A 4 Months Ago

    One of the final prompts was to compare the roles of men and women in the Renaissance. However, few of the readings addressed women in the Renaissance beyond their roles within the family. This made the paper a challenge to write. The history department needs a serious rework, it is full of outdated and misogynistic ideas.

    INT136BI . Bouley B A 6 Months Ago

    I took INT187AI and loved it. Easy 2 units class, and is actually interesting. You have to show up minimum of 6/10 time to pass (only pass/no pass class). It was taught by 2 professors and they were both super nice and chill. 100% would take it again. Little homework too.
