301. Ecological Issues. (4).
(NS). (BS).
Ecological Issues provides students with a general knowledge of natural
resource and environmental problems. Emphasis is placed on ecological principles
and interdisciplinary approaches to matters concerning the allocation of
natural resources and environmental quality within the context of a democratic
society. Attention will be given not only to ecological aspects, but to
economic, legal, political, sociological, and psychological ramifications
of environmental problems. Material is presented through lectures, recitation,
and readings and films. Lectures and readings in the early part of the course
deal with ecology. Once the basic ecological framework has been established,
case studies illustrating the multifaceted nature of environmental problems
will be examined. The recitation sections will be used for discussion and
to supplement the lectures with debates, film and slide presentations, and
group projects. Each student will write a term paper of roughly ten pages
or become involved with a term project dealing with an environmental topic
of his/her choice. Cost:2 WL:Go to 1024 Dana to get on a waitlist. (Diana)
