Note these important changes to two Honors science classes next semester:
Global Climate Change Biology
Professor LaTisha Hammond
HONR 1034:MV2 – 4 Credits
CRN: 94873
TR 10:00-11:50am
The change: Prof. Hammond’s two sections have been combined into one, and the lab is now built in to the course (meaning, no separate lab on Friday morning anymore!)
—-
Science in the media: Investigating claims about your health
Professor Carly Jordan
HONR 1034:MV – 4 Credits
CRN: 96451
MW 8:30-9:45am (Must register for accompanying lab meeting W 1pm-2:50pm)
The change: Prof. Jordan’s course is updated to this semester with the following addition to the course description:
This semester, the students will decide what we learn and how we learn it. Students will propose ideas for health-related claims they feel are interesting and important, and we will choose a few together and decide which related concepts we will need to explore. Each student will take responsibility for at least one claim, compiling information and resources to help us learn about the topic. Students will create teaching materials, design assessments, and propose experiments to explore each claim that we can all complete together. The class will be very small, so each student will have a customized learning experience, and will directly shape the content and format of the class.
