The Courses
Each student that completes the workbook exercises and submits them to the Duke Talent Identification Program will receive a certificate from the faculty verifying their participation in the program. An excellent portfolio builder! The first set of courses include:
Clues in Crime
Join Marilyn Miller, Professor of Forensic Science, New Haven University and member of the Duke TIP faculty, to learn the techniques behind solving the most puzzling crimes. Students will be taken into her lab to be taught the methods of investigative research. Real life exercises allow students to put theory into practice. After learning these skills, students will take a stab at solving a true to life crime scene investigation as a member of the Forensic Science Unit.
Peace and Protest
  Follow Shayne Goodrum of the Duke TIP faculty while she explores the memories and realities of America in the 1960s. Why was the decade so turbulent? What events came together to set the mood of the nation? What legacies did this decade have on our nation, and how do they still affect us? After learning about the history of the decade and engaging in interactive exercises, students will realize that it is more than an anthology. It is an experience where theyíll encounter the music, movements, and mores that changed the American landscape.
Switched on Sound
  In this course, students meet up with Anu Kirk who takes students on a journey through 20th Century music. Students will learn to listen to music with the ear of a critic and find ways to make connections between movements in ways never imagined. Along the way students have a chance to see how historical events and images tie these moments in music together.
