GSC 1109 - The Nature of Science

Credits: 4
Science courses generally are designed to introduce students to what scientists know. The focus of this course, however, will be to deepen students’ appreciation of what science is and how scientists know what they know. Through activities designed to stimulate creative and logical thinking skills, and discussions centered on interactions between science and society, students will gain a clearer understanding of the scientific endeavor, while exploring and expanding their own scientific skills. Examples and activities for this course will be drawn from a wide range of physical, biological, and social sciences.
