SCI 100 Case Studies in the Sciences: First Year Seminar

3 hours

This course examines case studies in the sciences and how to use them to understand real-world problems. Students will become familiar with the discipline of the natural sciences as well as policy, cultural, ethical, and professional considerations. This course will emphasize collaborative learning. Case studies tell important stories about real-life controversy and allow students to role-play events they may be faced with in a professional setting. The cases will focus on three topical areas - cell and molecular biology, toxicology, and criminalistics.
