This is an intensive writing course. The combination of reading and writing will inspire student insights into science and nature. The course will cover such topics as evolution, genetic research, and the romantic lure of the natural world. We have the daunting yet vitally important task of writing about scientific issues in such a manner that is accessible to a popular audience. Thus class assignments will reflect that goal. Course books will acquaint students with scientific and environmental issues from historical, aesthetic and medical perspectives. Students will learn to write summarize and analyze articles about science and nature and to synthesize historical scientific information-e.g., the findings of Darwin-with current scientific and ecological issues and thought. While the class concentrates on scientific issues, it will be crucial to speculate on what these issues mean for our society. Therefore, students will deepen their understanding of how scientific issues intersect with our democracy and culture-at -large. A 3-hour version of this course is offered as WRIT 314. A student may receive credit for only one of these courses. Prerequisites: WRIT 221 or permission.
