Humans make decisions every day. As individuals, voters, and citizens of the world, the choices we make have the power to shape the world around us. The problem is, we don't make choices very well. Sense and Sensibility and Science attempts to address this. Our undergraduate curriculum uses the tools developed by science to help people better understand the world around them and make better decisions together in an increasingly uncertain world.

-'''Welcome to the SSS wiki!''' This site holds the lesson plans, projects, teaching guides, and content for the [https://curricularconnections.berkeley.edu/big-ideas-courses/sense-and-sensibility-and-science/ UC Berkeley course] Sense and Sensibility and Science (SSS). Although this wiki is written to be used by instructors at UC Berkeley, it can easily be adapted for use at other universities. Variants of SSS have already been taught at [https://gened.fas.harvard.edu/classes/pride-prejudice-p-values Harvard] and [https://catalogue.uci.edu/search/?P=CHEM%2014 UC Irvine] and will soon be taught at UChicago as well!
