Environmental Issues (3 credits)
Introduces students to the complexities
of environmental problems confronting today's global citizens. Focuses on a
series of environmental issues that are, and have been, difficult to resolve.
Readings, audiovisual materials, and discussions on three or more environmental
controversies are employed to illustrate the many aspects of each issue that
should be explored. Students investigate a problem of their choice for
presentation to the class in written or oral form. A field trip extends
ecological background and provides additional information on a major issue
addressed in the course.
