great class. It was interesting enough but some of the course material felt useless. The end of the term is pretty busy but manageable. Which they'd given us more time to work on it in class instead of doing boring activities.

Learning to write a paper and research was super useful, I've applied it to most of my courses

She was amazing, really caring and gave good advice.

I thought the course was helpful, especially if you're heading towards science research. You learn skills of essay writing, the scientific process, different fields in science, and overall review and strengthen your argumentative abilities in writing your arguments and counterclaims. Some similar topics I learned in this class have been applicable to other science courses such as BIOL 180. It's also an easier alternative to other classes required for communication credits such as WRDS A/B. Would recommend it to other science students, it's also a smaller class so you get the benefit of asking the TA and professor for help or great feedback!

Easier verison of WRDS150. Less useful though. 10% of material is useful. Everything taught could've been finished in 1 week. Smashing my fingers with a hammer would've been a better use of my time.

Mostly a boring class, repeated essay writing skills from highschool. Though from some of the papers I peer-reviewed, students really need to take it. Whole focus of the course is to write a simple research paper, and it gets the job done. Perfect for anyone interested in going into research, or who expects to read a lot of research papers. Also goes into how trustworthy the peer-review process is, and how to critically evaluate it. Harsh grading, solid alternative to ENGL 110 if you dont want to read.
