Class discussion assumes that the assignments were read. In addition to the technical readings, three non-technical articles will be distributed for reading and discussion in class. These readings are chosen to illustrate that environmental management decisions do not solely have a technical basis, but that social, political, economic, and even emotional factors often come into play. Teams will be assigned to assume different positions for in-class discussion of the papers. There are two midterm exams and one final exam.
All tests are open-book, closed notes.
Exam questions will be patterned after homework problems. Make-up exams are not given unless the test was missed for a certified medical reason or with prior approval. A zero is be averaged for tests missed without instructor approved excuses. Students are expected to work individually on the tests. Homework Students work in groups of 3 or 4 on the required homework.
