Course Description:

The purpose of this course is to prepare you to communicate your research effectively in a variety of formats including the presentation of your summer research at the end-of-summer symposium. Students in this class represent a diverse set of backgrounds and skill levels. This means that we all have something to learn and something to teach. If you bring this attitude, then this course will be a productive use of your time.
