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, 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.
