The lecture portion of this class will be information intensive with ample opportunity for classroom discussions about possible solutions and courses of action for these environmental concerns. The laboratory portion will include movies, field trips, experiments, speakers and other exercises. Attendance is required for all lectures and labs.
Lecture is designed to present a thorough outline and review of the main concepts from the textbook.
Also, information from other sources will be incorporated into the lecture, such as case studies. Since exams will be taken from lecture material, missed lectures will seriously hinder your ability to successfully complete this course. Lab attendance is essential. Many labs are difficult or impossible for the student to make up. Otherwise, the student will need to get the information on the lab from other students in class.
