JOUR 216 Introduction to Science Writing (W)
This course is designed to bring together students interested in distinguishing scientific truth from misinformation and conveying that truth to a general audience not deeply versed in the disciplines of science. The course will allow students in the sciences to develop writing skills that will position them as spokespersons within and beyond their fields, while allowing students in the humanities who have at least an avocational interest in the sciences to develop that interest into serving both a growing niche of the journalistic market and the public’s need to know.
