Satisfies Junior Year Writing requirement. Intended for primary physics majors. Practice in different styles of science writing, typically including a personal statement, science writing for the general public, and a professional article in the style of those found in a mainstream physics journal. Peer reviews, and dependent on instructor, student presentations. Prerequisites: ENGLWRIT 112 or 113 and PHYSICS 284, or permission of the instructor.
