I. Course Objective

The purpose of this referral coursework is to provide students with an opportunity to reinforce their understanding of key scientific concepts covered in the general science course. By completing the assignments outlined below, students can address areas of weakness and improve their grasp of fundamental scientific principles.

II. Learning Outcomes

To familiarize students with fundamental principles across various scientific disciplines.
To develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills through scientific inquiry.
To cultivate an appreciation for the scientific method and its application in real-world scenarios.
To explore the interconnectedness of different scientific fields and their significance in addressing contemporary issues.

III. Coursework Overview

Lectures: Weekly lectures will cover foundational concepts in physics, chemistry, biology, and earth sciences. Each lecture will incorporate multimedia presentations, demonstrations, and interactive discussions to engage students and reinforce key ideas.
Laboratory Sessions: Biweekly laboratory sessions will provide hands-on experience with scientific experiments and investigations. Students will work in small groups to conduct experiments, collect data, analyze results, and draw conclusions.
Readings and Assignments: Students will be assigned readings from the course textbook and supplemental materials to complement lecture topics. Written assignments and quizzes will be given periodically to assess comprehension and reinforce learning objectives.
Group Projects: Throughout the semester, students will collaborate on group projects that explore interdisciplinary themes in science. Projects may involve research, presentations, and creative activities designed to integrate knowledge from multiple scientific disciplines.

IV. Assessment Methods

Exams: There will be two mid-term exams and a comprehensive final exam covering material from lectures, readings, and laboratory sessions. Exams will consist of multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, and problem-solving exercises.
Laboratory Reports: Students will submit formal laboratory reports for selected experiments, demonstrating their ability to effectively communicate scientific findings, analyze data, and draw meaningful conclusions.
Assignments and Quizzes: Written assignments, quizzes, and participation in group projects and class discussions will contribute to the overall assessment of student performance.
Attendance and Participation: Attendance and active participation in lectures, laboratory sessions, and class discussions will be taken into account when evaluating student engagement and effort.
