Scientific and Technical Writing

In STW, Dr. Sumner teaches us to write scientific and technical documents and to use proper grammar. We have done so much writing for this class, that it makes me dizzy to think back on it all. I had to have over 150 pages for STW this year. In addition to what we wrote specifically for this class, we also wrote our STREAM papers as a part of this class.





This is an essay that I wrote for STW. It discusses the myth of furry trout in light of Occam's Razor.

This is an example of a scientific methodology for the simple task of toasting a bagel and putting cream cheese on it.

This is an expository essay about fireflies.

This is a letter that I wrote to the Nobel Foundation about whether or not Percy Julian should receive a Nobel Prize. I wrote it for this class, and Dr. Sumner sent all of the letters we wrote to Sweden.
