A critical component of science is how you approach and think about concepts and problems. In this course, students will explore many ways of thinking that are practiced by scientists from across STEM disciplines. The frameworks and mindsets that we cover will help students learn scientific concepts and skills in current and future courses. Additionally, this course seeks to help students prepare for interacting in a world full of data and scientific information.

CollegeClass was way too much work for the grade you will receive, Nate comes off as a nice guy but is a brutal grader, Discussion sect. is ridiculous too even more work to get graded hard when you're only given 10 min to work on an assn. If you want a lot of non-sense work and receive a low grade then take this class. Don't plan on getting an A, he says.
OK professor, but there was way too much busy work than there should have been. information was relatively all review but tests were graded harshly. midterm was terrible but overall with all of the other assignments and final the final grade was OK. One very long paper.
If you have a choice - do not take this class. This is a very work heavy class. The section is taught as if it is it's own class with it's own homework, assignments, projects, and quizzes. Lecture is relatively easy material - felt like you learn nothing new. But you won't receive the grade you deserve. Grade very harshly and unexpectedly.
