The intended audience for this course are non-science majors that have an interest in environmental and ecological issues. Students are encouraged to participate in all discussions. At the conclusion of this course, I hope that you are more aware of your impacts on the natural environment. B. Grading will be based on several quizzes and exams given throughout the semester. Four, hour-long exams will be given each semester.
Exams consist of short answer, multiple choice and essay questions.
The two lowest quiz grades will be dropped. You must let me know as soon as possible if there are conflicts prior to the exam date. Environmental Science is a course that requires consistent class attendance. Class discussions are an important tool for improving one's knowledge of the subject matter. Participation and attendance also is an important element of the class and students are expected to complete the readings before the class period.
