EE BIOL C237

Communicating Science to Informal Audiences

Description: Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour; laboratory or fieldwork, two hours. Enforced requisite: one course from course 25, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences M10, Chemistry 2, 14A, 20A, Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences 1, 15, Environment M10, or Life Sciences 1. Designed for juniors/seniors. Combined instruction in inquiry-based teaching methods and learning pedagogy, with six weeks of supervised teaching experience at Santa Monica Pier Aquarium. Students practice communicating scientific knowledge and receive mentoring on how to improve their presentations to develop ocean science literacy at all levels and to encourage broad public understanding of science and environmental stewardship. Need for young scientists to learn how to communicate about their science to audiences is especially critical when considering that Americans are expected to comprehend and respond to increasingly complex issues, such as global climate change, with limited understanding of how natural world works. Concurrently scheduled with course C179. Letter grading.
