Early Modern Philosophy and Introduction to Philosophy lecture 4

So for my first class today - Early Modern Philosophy - the classroom computer was on the fritz so we used the primitive device called a white board, and we talked about Descartes, Hobbes, Bacon, and Galileo. The video is posted here. The quiz question was why was Hobbes buried at Ault Hulknell? For my second class, Introduction to Philosophy, the reading was What is it like to be a bat? And we discussed using models to conceive of reality. The video is here though the camera stopped before class was over. The quiz question was in the movie the phrase "This chick is toast" was used by Bill Murray. Was that the first time that phrase was ever used?
