WRI 115: Topics in Science Writing

[4 units]

To better understand the difficult process of explaining technical information in clear, accessible, non-technical language, students read widely in the scientific literature, including works by established science journalists and by prominent scientists who have written for the general public. Oral presentations and group projects complement various writing tasks.

Prerequisite: WRI 010  or equivalent exam. Normal Letter Grade only. Course may be repeated 1 time for credit.
