Peer review is a cornerstone of scientific research and the advancement of human knowledge. This course will focus on how to discern quality research from junk science, both in what is read and what is written. Together, students will explore how to evaluate scientific works from across disciplines and use what they learn to propose interdisciplinary research. May not be held with ENVR 2810.

PR/CR: A minimum grade of C is required unless otherwise indicated.
Prerequisites: [a minimum of 18 credit hours in any of ASTR, BIOL, CHEM, COMP, DATA, MATH, MBIO, PHYS, or STAT courses at the 2000 level or higher] and [a course that fulfills the Written English requirement] and [permission of the instructor].

This interdisciplinary course encourages students from disciplines across the University to use techniques from the visual arts to create high-impact visualizations of research data. Topics include data representations and visual analytics; human perception, composition, colour theory and practice; communicating with the public; and science's current impact in the art realm. A hands-on workshop format will be the main mode of learning how to incorporate perception-based design principles into static digital images and dynamic computer interactives. This course is intended for upper year undergraduates interested in scientific visualization. May not be held with SCI 4000 when the topic was The Art of Scientific Visualization.
