First, you should know a lot about course content. The things we study have real consequences for human affairs. Each student will write a study of the political activities of an environmental interest group, or write a critical evaluation of a piece of environmental analysis. See guidelines on the course web page. Each student will join a group that reads, critically reviews, and leads a class discussion of a book.
Quizzes can be short answer, short essays, and even multiple choice.
In-class activities and internet assignments occur regularly. Check the assignments link on the course web page.
