It is open to students in all areas of psychology who already have good English writing proficiency within their sub-discipline; it is not a basic English writing course. If you are not already a proficient writer in English, the class would not be appropriate for you. It requires weekly writing and/or speaking and will address written formats such as science blogging, opinion/editorial writing, book reviewing, and magazine-style feature writing. Speaking will include TED-style science talks as well as talks for non-scientists. Students will provide stylistic, structural, and organizational feedback for their peers in the class. The broader goal is to improve your ability to communicate with people outside of your specialty, a skill that generalizes to giving an effective job talk and to interviewing.
