PMD 310 - Perspectives in Scientific Reasoning

Institution:

Indiana Wesleyan University

Subject:

Description:

This course is primarily intended to assist those preparing to sit for national tests such as the GRE, MCAT, DAT, or OAT, but also could be helpful for those preparing for a career in general science education and health science administration who feel they would benefit from a broader perspective of scientific reasoning. This course is designed to hone critical thinking and reasoning skills and is customized for each student depending on the graduate or professional pathway for which they are preparing. For those taking science-related tests, a portion of the semester will be devoted to integrating the three major disciplines of science (biology, chemistry, & physics) in a meaningful way. The development of critical thinking and reasoning skills will be assessed periodically using practice tests that mirror those for which the student is preparing. Prerequisite or co-requisite courses: BIO-125, CHE-125, CHE-126, CHE-235, CHE-236, PHY-211, PHY-212 (or PHY-221 and PHY-222).
