BIOS 4516 - Environmental Writing

College of Sciences

Lecture
- Credits: 3

The goal of the course is for students to create science-based writing about environmental issues that is highly accessible to the ordinary reader. Students will participate and in turn lead weekly classroom discussions and exercises on a wide range of environmental themes selected by the class and two instructors for this course. Readings will be drawn from science journalism and popular texts by some of our best environmental writers. Science and non-science majors will collaborate to research and present a project and will also write an article suitable for publication. Through this class, students should become better scientists and better writers.
