Science in the News

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course has been designed to provide non-science majors with the skills to critically read and understand science (specifically chemistry) as it is presented in the news. Everyone can benefit from being able to read a news article and evaluate the science presented as reliable or not. Students are not expected to have strong background in chemistry and introductory material necessary for the lecture will be presented. The course material will consist of news articles as well as scientific papers.
