The academic approach to this information is intended to be that ofan environmentally aware citizen and not that of an advocate for any particular position. The central focus of the course is an inquiry into the influence of human activities on the environment and the methodologies used to ameliorate those impacts. As a class, we will examine the severity of different threats posed by various environmental problems. However, a major goal of the course is for each student, individually, to develop their own level of environmental awareness.  \nThis course is listed as 100% online, and all discussions, student presentations, and exams will be done online through Blackboard and Blackboard tools. This course is listed as asynchronous and will not have an official class meeting time.  \nCourse Objectives  \nBy the end of the semester students will be able to:  \n1) Understand the basics of environmental science and ecological principles  \n2) Identify environmental risks, and understand technical issues and methods for risk assessment  \n3) Make personal decisions based on their ability to investigate, understand, and critically evaluate their environmental concerns  \n4) Develop the advanced understanding of a specific environmental issue and demonstrate their knowledge through research and presentation.  \nMason Gen. Ed. Requirements and Learning Outcomes  \nLearning Outcomes: The general education natural sciences courses engage students in scientific exploration; foster their curiosity; enhance their enthusiasm for science; and enable them to apply scientific knowledge and reasoning to personal, professional and public decision-making. Lab courses must meet all five learning outcomes. Non-lab courses must meet learning outcomes 1 through 4.  \nTo achieve these goals, students will:  \n1. Understand how scientific inquiry is based on investigation of evidence from the natural world, and that scientific knowledge and understanding:  \ni. Evolves based on new evidence  \nii. Differs from personal and cultural beliefs  \n2. Recognize the scope and limits of science.  \n3. Recognize and articulate the relationship between the natural sciences and society and the application of science to societal challenges (e.g., health, conservation, sustainability, energy, natural disasters, etc.) .  \n4. Evaluate scientific information (e.g., distinguish primary and secondary sources, assess credibility and validity of information) .  \nCourse Requirements & Student Expectations  \nTextbook and Reading requirements  \n• Essential Environment: The Science Behind the Stories 6th Edition.
