As part of the course, we will be reading reports, articles, and studies from a wide variety of sources in a range of scientific fields to develop an appreciation for scientific writing and thought. You will explore and practice different forms of Science writing: Lab Reports, Research papers, etc. With a focus on examining different concepts and issues within the world around you, this course will help you organize data and present conclusions to varied audience. In particular, we will analyze various reports and critical reviews that have been recently published which will allow you to compose your own writing in these fields.

Caveat: Note that accepted practices about writing vary among science disciplines, and expectations about written work vary among science faculty.
