#In “Nightfall” and “The Cold Equations” does the author believe man is superior to nature? Or nature to man? (Zachary Kain, Bryan Cohen, Dan Wahrer)
#What do “Flowers for Algernon” and “Nightfall” say about the role of science in society? (Cameron Tweedle, Prashanna Jayaseelan, Colin Kelly)
#Several of the assigned readings we looked at were considered to be “ground-breaking”. Pick two stories and explain how they broke new ground in SF.(Anthony Donato)
#How has SF grown and matured as a literary genre? Use two of the assigned readings to illustrate the growth – you may also refer to works that preceded the ones you are talking about to illustrate the growth.
#Is science a necessary element of a science fiction story? Defend your argument using at least two of the assigned readings. (Justin Chan)
