Students might want to consider taking survey classes in American history before taking this class, but that is not required for the understanding of the material. Although this will be a lecture class, students are encouraged to participate during class sessions. Attendance is not required, but I reserve the right to lower final grades because of excessive absence. The lectures will supplement the readings but not replace them. You are expected to know the material in both the lectures and the readings.
All assignments are due on the date noted.
Required texts can be purchased at the bookstore. You have your choice of reading either Sand County Almanac or Silent Spring , so please purchase only one. Articles can be downloaded and printed from the library's ERes system. Avon Books, 1977. The Transformation of the American Environmental Movement .
