HON 200 - Honors Science Exploration

To think like a scientist, students must know how science knowledge is created and interpreted. In a Science Exploration course, content serves as a vehicle to illustrate how experiment, observation, and critical evaluation drive scientific understanding and progress. Science literacy and quantitative reasoning skills will be developed as tools to interpret and apply to natural processes. The course gives the student an appreciation of the applications and limitations of a science that investigates natural processes. It combines concepts and methods of inquiry from multiple disciplines such as biology, chemistry, psychology, anthropology, ecology, history, or public policy. These explorations are synthesized by students in an independent project. To satisfy the Science Exploration requirement, the student must successfully complete the lecture and corresponding lab.
