Science Writing for a Broad Audience

Catalog description

Description: Students will write three documents and will review texts on related topics written by other students in the course. The scientific topics for these texts will be selected by the students. Each of the three texts will be designed for a different audience: undergraduate students in the same major; high school students, and the general public. These texts will illustrate the scientific inquiry process, scientific methods, results and interpretation of scientific evidence, and relevance to society. Students will receive instructions on how to write, revise, and review these texts.
