[phas-undergrad] FW: NEW COURSE! Scientific Writing and Rhetoric

[Kurtis Williams]

The English Department is offering the following new course starting in the fall:

ENG

Scientific Writing & Rhetoric Hours: 3

01E

83408

Woods, Charles

Meets 8/25/2025 through 12/12/2025
Mon, Wed, Fri 1:00p-1:50p    Campus: Main  Building: DTH  Room: 302


Dr. Charles Woods will be teaching the course and, in due time, may be able to offer insight on his approach to the course. Dr. Woods has published in the rhetoric of science and technology with a focus on genetic and medical information, privacy-surveillance, and AI. He is going to rock it!

While this course is not required for physics and astronomy majors, scientific and technical writing is a crucial skill that we are unable to teach in our own department – please consider this elective!

Cheers,
Dr. Williams

Hi Robynne,

I hope you are well! I’m excited to report that we are launching a new course in the fall that may be interesting to you, your colleagues, and the students in science majors.

My colleague Dr. Charles Woods will be teaching the course and, in due time, may be able to offer insight on his approach to the course. Dr. Woods has published in the rhetoric of science and technology with a focus on genetic and medical information, privacy-surveillance, and AI. He is going to rock it!

My conversations with you last year emphasized the need for a course like this, and I hope you will help promote it so that it can be a success and support students across the disciplines.

Take care,

Gavin
