The instructor introduces students to the seminar method of inquiry and exchange of ideas during the first few weeks. In consultation with the instructor, students work in groups to develop oral, written, and multimedia presentations for the class. Perspectives, ideas, and questions are synthesized during the final weeks of the course, and a compilation of each group's work is circulated to all students. The course is designed for students who are majoring in disciplines other than the sciences. It is intended to satisfy general education requirements in science and the writing-enriched course requirement.
