pretty fun seminar class! we listened to guest speakers (ranging from professors in the department to alumni in industry) and did hands-on stuff like making ice cream, cookies and composite beams! there is 1 final paper where you write about any mat sci topic of your choosing.

Entire grade is one 3 page paper. Made ice cream + cookies and just listened to guest speakers.

This is a super fun seminar course for entering freshmen in materials science and engineering. In this class you'll be making cookies and ice cream, creating and breaking beams, and listening to (what I thought were) interesting lectures at the end by guest presenters including professors and PhD students. This class was really just a chance to have fun and socialize with other MatSci majors. The entire grade depends on one paper you submit at the end of the quarter. The paper focuses on a topic of the student's choosing relating to materials science, and it cannot exceed three pages (including images and works cited). Do not go try hard on the paper like I did—most people wrote it in no more than two days and got A's.
