About the Course
This course will help students in various science fields develop skills for critical analysis of literature while exploring current topics in environmental science. We will discuss recent papers from a range of environment-related journals in the context of the approach and methodology leading to the conclusions and overall significance of the work. Students will participate in bi-weekly discussions, present their own critique of a paper, and demonstrate their mastery of concepts by reviewing a sample manuscript.
