Description: How do scientists read and write? This course examines how scientists, like fiction writers, persuade audiences that their version of reality is interesting enough to read and plausible enough to convince. Through class discussions and written assignments, students will improve skills in observing, writing, reading, and persuading. This course is limited to first-year students only; any others will be removed from this course. Cross-list: FSEM 166.
