College Foundations: Key

Catalog description

This course is focused on key concepts important for discovery and making quantitative, evidence-based statements about the world in which we live. Students will investigate universal phenomena through the lens of scientific inquiry and data analysis. How do we make sense of the natural and physical world in which we live? How do we, as global citizens, obtain deeper insights into its complexities? What is the role of evidence, intuition, hypothesis, and scientific theories? How do we form sound arguments or detect errors in flawed arguments? How do data play in the modern world? How do we collect, analyze, and interpret data? Is there a limit to our capacity to understanding the world? These are questions that humanity has grappled with for millennia, yet they remain critically important today.
