Course description

Each Academic Fundamentals class (A-D) focuses on a specific subfield of science and engineering (for example, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Technology, etc.), and reviews and builds on the concepts which students have studied in high school. We will focus on the English skills and knowledge required to understand lectures and readings on the fundamental concepts of the subject. In this class, students will be required to read texts and listen to lectures on field-specific topics, discuss the topics with other students, solve problems, and make presentations to others.
