ES 205 - Debunked! Environmental Writing & Communication (3 Cr.)Change in course title and description as of 9/18/2012. Formerly listed as “Science Communication & Writing”. (COM 205)
This 200-level environmental communication and writing class will focus on improving scientific literacy across a variety of media. We will prepare students to be intelligent consumers of popular environmental discourse, able to distinguish valid science-based information from disinformation. As well, the course will stress competent science-based environmental writing. Students will be expected to understand science-based articles in newspapers, magazines, and journals; and scientifically-themed television programming. Assignments will include a letter to the editor, a storyboard for a television episode, a corporate press release, an NGO white paper, and an in-depth research article. The course will focus on environmental and sustainability-based subjects.
Prerequisite: College Writing Proficiency requirement. Fall, first offered 2012. Chalecki, Peroutka.
