Chemistry (12)The overarching goal of this proof-of-concept project is the design and implementation of a junior-level writing course that is synchronous with the proliferation of research opportunities available to today's undergraduate science majors. Colleges and universities engage students in evermore sophisticated research efforts, yet seldom offer adequate instruction in how to communicate these efforts to the larger scientific community. An interdisciplinary team-planned/team-taught course is combining the expertise of a chemistry professor and an English professor to introduce chemistry majors to the genres of scientific writing and associated scientific literacy skills. The outcome of the project is a pedagogical approach to scientific writing that moves the student beyond generic laboratory reports and develops writing as a vehicle for organizing, interpreting, and communicating research data. Initiatives in scientific writing, when coupled with initiatives in undergraduate research, are ensuring the highest quality education for students, and are better preparing science majors for the research and writing challenges they will face as career scientists.

化学(12)这个概念验证项目的首要目标是设计和实施一门初级写作课程，与当今本科生理科专业可获得的研究机会的激增同步。学院和大学让学生参与更复杂的研究工作，但很少提供充分的指导，如何将这些努力传达给更大的科学界。一门跨学科的团队计划/团队授课的课程结合了一名化学教授和一名英语教授的专业知识，向化学专业的学生介绍科学写作的体裁和相关的科学素养技能。该项目的成果是一种科学写作的教学方法，使学生超越一般的实验室报告，并将写作发展为组织、解释和交流研究数据的工具。科学写作方面的举措，加上本科生研究方面的举措，正在确保为学生提供最高质量的教育，并使理科专业的学生更好地为他们作为职业科学家将面临的研究和写作挑战做好准备。
