Course Title:
Advanced Writing in the Sciences
Course Description:
Provides instruction in writing for students considering careers or advanced study in the physical or life sciences. By exploring research literature and reflecting on their own experiences, class members identify issues of interest in their field and analyze how scientific texts make claims, invoke other scientific literature, offer evidence, and deploy key terms. Through analysis and imitation, students are exposed to the challenges of the scientific paper, such as the use of quantitative data and visual presentation of evidence. After they have identified a scientific issue to pursue, students plan, research, compose, and revise an extended writing project, modeling their writing on the work in their field. Operates as a workshop, with academic peer review modeled by students in the composition and revision of their projects.
