Course Description:
The course is meant to offer an opportunity for students that may not have prior knowledge of science, to study a range of environmental issues
from a scientific perspective. Although other dimensions (such as social, cultural, economical and political aspects) may be considered, the course
primarily seeks to provide scientific knowledge and understanding enabling the student to review environmental issues more objectively. This would
enable them to assess the dimension of the issue and to consider alternative strategies for its resolution. The course seeks to provide basic
environmental literacy for students who would later pursue a wide variety of careers but it is also meant to encourage and provide basic knowledge to
others who would opt for careers directly related to the environmental field. To promote a more holistic framework of environmental issues, the
approach adopted must necessarily be interdisciplinary, involving inputs from various fields related to the issues being studied. While ensuring that
the course provides a global perspective, candidates should also be familiarized with the local and regional dimensions of the environmental issues
being studied.

Course Outcome

1. Acquire and apply scientific knowledge about environmental issues so as to understand the underlying scientific concepts,
2. Develop a deeper understanding of environmental issues by relating scientific knowledge with other perspectives,
3. Acquire the necessary problem-solving skills that would enable them to examine and propose alternatives to a variety of environmental
problems,
 4. Develop pro-environmental values and attitudes that foster environmental responsibility, and
5. Critically evaluate their attitudes, behavior and values and consequently adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.

Course Policies:
 ● Online Class
o Students should enter the call with audio muted. Faculty should determine whether or not students should enter with video
muted or on. Regardless, participants should still be in appropriate attire in case video button toggles accidentally. 
o Faculty determines whether students need both audio and video or just audio for active participation. For smaller discussions,
video adds a sense of personality to the discussion. For larger discussions, video may be disorienting. 
o Faculty should state up front whether or not they will permit students to screen share (and, if so, for what reasons).
▪ Faculty needs to establish protocols for moderating discussion. 
▪ Unmoderated: any student can speak up at any time
▪ Moderated: faculty decides speaking order. 
● If video is used, students can raise their hands to be called on, like in a live classroom. 
● If only audio is used, faculty can use the text chat as a way of seeing who wants to participate. In this case it is
important to designate a signal in chat that users can type to show faculty that they have something to contribute. 
● Attendance must be properly observed.
● Late submission of projects will not be accepted.
● Cheating is highly prohibited in any class activity. Cheating means 5.0.
● Special exams will be given only if reasons are valid.
● Observe ethics inside or outside the classroom (platform).
● Only subject-related task must be done during the hour/s.
