Expanded Course Description
This course is designed as a critical, first look into the core philosophy and principles of scientific learning and evidence-based investigation in science. The primary objectives are to help students build a practical foundation of process and content on which success in upper division courses and independent study/research can be supported, and the connection between laboratory science and the practice of medicine established. The course will emphasize practical activities that will help students think as scientists, gather and analyze data, evaluate and communicate findings, and facilitate the development of useful questions and conclusions.
