Date: Wednesday, June 1
Time: 2:15 – 3:15 p.m., second presentation at this time
Location: 104 Gore Hall
Our session will explain the collaborative project called MSMS, “Making Science Make Sense”. Honors biochem students, video production and journalism students worked together in Fall 2015 to make science make sense. We will offer detail on how we designed the course, implemented it, and the student outcomes. We want to offer advice and encouragement to those working on (and who want to work on) cross-disciplinary collaborations.
