Communicating Uncertainty in Science
In this course, students have “the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of how decisions are made under uncertainty, and how communicating uncertainty effectively can help with making more informed decisions even when the outcomes are not fully predictable.” [S. Mohadjer]. The course was offered through Global Awareness Education, as part of the Transdisciplinary Course Program and Career Service (TRACS)
