這門課是對於科技散文的藝術性和技巧性的發揚,研究以及實踐,也就是說,為一般讀者撰寫有關於科學技術的文章。我們將讀到許多不同的文章,而寫作和修訂是本課程主要任務。這是一門結合講習和研討會的課程(不是一門講座形式的課)。
This class celebrates, analyzes and practices the art and craft of the Science Essay - that is, writing for a general audience on topics in science and technology. We read a variety of essays, but writing and revision are the main work of the class. This class is conducted as a combination workshop/seminar style class. (It is not a lecture class.)
