Olivia Wolfe – Dr. Christopher Otter

I found Dr. Christopher Otters presentation to be very interesting and helpful in understanding Kuhn’s book. One thing I liked was how he explained what exactly a paradigm was and gave some examples. We have talked about paradigms multiple times, but I never fully understood it. One definition that was given was saying it’s essentially “something that everyone is on the same page on”. Examples include plate tectonics or the periodic table. I think that explaining some of the key points from the book, like paradigm and normal science, helped me to further understand the book and was very useful.
