ENV101WB: Introduction to Environmental Science - Summer Session B

[Natalie Campbell]

This is a 5-week class that counts as a three credit Natural Science class
towards your degree. The structure is geared for “non science” majors and
uses a combination of textbook and online tools for the learning
environment. The class is broken down into five distinct week blocks, each
with its own non-cumulative exam, Live chat and Discussion forum. We cover
the major current environmental issues that we face globally, along with
how human population growth and poverty influence them. Sections also
include human health impacts and risks. This course covers current topics,
such as polar ice caps melting, bioplastics in our food chain, risks of
Climate change, and even COVID's impacts on water and air quality. The last
section examines the soil and the agricultural practices we use to try and
grow food for 8 billion people sustainably. The class includes a “green
thumb” Bonus project.
