301. Ecological Issues. (4). (NS).
Ecological Issues provides students with a general knowledge of
natural resource and environmental problems. Emphasis is placed
on 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. 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:1 WL:1 (Nowak)
