iCons II: "Integrated Scientific Communication", will emphasize written and oral communication skill building activities in a variety of formats, emphasizing the different demands placed on scientists when they interact with scientists from their own discipline and from other disciplines, with younger students, and with the general public. For most departments in the College of Natural Sciences and the College of Engineering, iCons II fulfills the Junior Year Writing requirement.
Students develop the ability to create, articulate, and write logical arguments to scientists and non-scientists. This necessitates learning to listen and speak well with scientists from other fields and to give and receive constructive criticism. Work on theme-based projects is produced both individually and in teams, helping each student build their own skill set while building on progress from iCons I.
