This course is designed for non-native speakers of English who have high-intermediate to advanced English skills and are currently enrolled in Physics 1301W. The goal of this course is to help students further develop the English and academic skills needed to be successful in their physics class. Students taking this course will gain more support and practice with the conventions of writing scientific lab reports, applying the concepts of academic integrity, interacting and participating in lab-type discussions and small group projects, using academic listening and note-taking strategies, and identifying campus resources for additional academic/social support. This course also equips students with techniques to aid in their continual improvement of English skills for science and engineering contexts beyond the class.
Prerequisite: non-native speaker of English
