An introduction to public writing within and about the sciences (primarily but not exclusively natural sciences). Communicating scientific information and data in effective ways to a variety of expert and non-expert audiences is a key component to the work here. Units will focus on topics ranging from public health to environmental issues to artificial intelligence (and others) with projects enacting a different element of writing explored in each unit. Each week of this online course will prioritize a different science writing strategy. The course takes a rhetorical approach to public writing skills and includes some emphasis on document design, information delivery, affect, and visuals. Counts as a writing category course for English Secondary Education majors and Elementary Education (English emphasis) majors.
