ICons 289H - Integrated Scientific Communic

iCons 2 engages students in written and oral communication skill-building, emphasizing the different demands placed on scientists when we interact with scientists from our own discipline, other disciplines, younger students, and with the general public. For most departments in the College of Natural Sciences and College of Engineering, iCons 2 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 1.

ICONS 189H & ENGLWRIT 112 This course is restricted to students accepted in to the iCons Program who have successfully completed ICONS or NATSCI 189H. Section 02 is for students in the Food-Water-Climate track.
