Scientific Method II
The Grand Challenges in Science course will introduce students to a major global challenge in science from a multi-disciplinary approach. The “Grand Challenges” addressed in these courses should be topics that are compelling for both intellectual and practical reasons, that deal with roadblocks for progress in a field, and that will deliver significant payoff when progress is made. Using primary sources, discussion, and critical reasoning, students will examine the history and evidence of a particular challenge and examine solutions to the problem.
