<p>Thanks so much, Splashdown! Your postings are very, very helpful. Thanks for your time!
I have a question and hope you can help me - about the core curriculum of Duke Trinity School. </p>
<p>When you look at the list of Areas of knowledges and Modes of Inquiry, they look so long. However, I read one of your earlier posts, you said “each course you take has both a mode of inquiry and an area of knowledge assigned to it”. So, if you take a course, say sociology, it has “ss” assigned to it for social science, then it also has “EI” assigned as it also fits for ethical inquiry, and it also has “CCI” assigned as it also fits for cross-cultural inquiry? So if you take this sociology course, it takes care of a “knowledge” core requirement, and two “inquiry” requirements simutaneously? Did I understand it right?</p>
<p>About how much time you spend at Duke is for the core courses? Would you say about half (two years, or about 17 out of 34 courses) or would you say about one third ( say,11 out of 34 courses) or, less? I hope to get an idea.</p>
<p>Thanks so much in advance!!!</p>
