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!
