Course Information:
Description:
This course provides a survey of current issues in the study of environmental science. Topics include scientific principles and concepts, human population dynamics, resources and resource management, pollution, world problems and environment and society. Emphasis will be placed on how individual actions and economic and political policies can affect the environment. Proposed solutions to environmental problems will be considered. A mandatory safety lesson (normally given in the laboratory) must be completed before the student is admitted to certain biology laboratory sessions. Approved safety glasses are required for some laboratory sessions and may be purchased through the bookstore. Attendance during the first week of class is mandatory and may affect a student's continuation in these classes. Students must complete 60% of the laboratories in a course to receive credit. Courses in this area may require additional hours outside of the scheduled class times. Prerequisite for all biology courses above BIO 100 is high school biology completed within the last 5 years or completion of BIO 100, BIO 111, or previous college credit in biology within the last 5 years. Students enrolled in distance versions of these courses may be required to come to campus for an orientation meeting, completion of certain exams, and laboratories. Laboratories in distance learning courses are generally done on an every other week basis on campus.
