Dear First Year Academic Seminar Leaders,
Please share this with your students. This course will be a great way for non-science majors to earn credit for one of their Area D requirements in Maymester. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me by email or phone.
Sandra or myself would be happy to visit your course, if you are interested.
Thank you,
Julia Metzker

Subject: IDST 2405 Course Proposal (draft)Hi Sunita,
I’ve attached a draft of the IDST Course Proposal Form. Please let us know what we need to tweak, and we’ll send a revised form along with a draft of the syllabus early next week. We were fairly narrow in our course description. It doesn’t seem as if it would be one that would ever appear in the catalog since this course is designed for a chemist and sociologist. But if we need to be more broad, please let us know. Just any ideas you have will be helpful.
Thanks!
Sandra

Subject: terminologyJulia,
I thought about this at lunch and didn’t mention it, but now it seems to me important that we articulate in our course description that we are bringing together _____ science (don’t know what to call it) and social science. I am not hung up on being seen as a scientist, social or otherwise, but it does seem that we should communicate that we are bringing together two areas of science.

this is a good resource for our class.
