STEM 1200 - Scientific Decisions in Everyday Life (3)

Prerequisites: Completion of one 1000-level science course and one 1000-level mathematics course. This course places emphasis on both the use of scientific information in everyday life and on the interdisciplinary nature of scientific inquiry.  This course provides interdisciplinary, practical examples and demonstrations of how science is encountered and operates in daily life; prepares students to develop proficiency in logical arguments by examining the top logical fallacies in public arguments that could employ scientific methods to resolve; and requires students to demonstrate an understanding of the process of science.  These topics, across the STEM and non-STEM disciplines, will have significant emphasis on oral and written communication, taking a process education approach to small group analysis, presentation, and feedback on sample modules.
