Description:

After completing a Biology degree, many people apply to graduate or medical school, become laboratory technicians, or do work that in some way describes science to non-scientists. These options all require writing, although the particulars vary. In this class, students will complete short writing assignments that tailor information about a single topic to different audiences. They will then identify the area(s) where they would like to concentrate their efforts, and write and revise at least one significant piece of scientific writing. More than one piece may be required; the final project should contain 10-15 pages of writing (split as desired between projects). This course satisfies one of your two required upper-level writing experiences. It is a half-semester course, meeting once weekly. There will be significant out-of-class time commitment required for writing, revision, self-assessment, and peer-review.
