TI - Bridging the gap: embedding communication courses in the science undergraduate curriculum SN - 1052-4800 AV - LB1778 JOU PY - 2015/// CY - Canada PB - Miami University KW - Science curriculum KW - Undergraduate students KW - Integrated curriculum N2 - The authors describe a model for embedding science communication into the science curriculum without displacing science content. They describe the rationale, development, design, and implementation of two courses taught by science faculty addressing these criteria. They also outline the evaluation plan for these courses, which emphasize broad communication skills taught in a scientific context by multidisciplinary teams. Small class sizes permit frequent and detailed feedback from peers and instructors allowing students to receive valuable and transferable communication training that is relevant across all scientific disciplines. This approach addresses a curricular gap and results in a positive learning experience for students ER -
