Environmental Conservation

Catalog description

A module driven lecture and laboratory course that will introduce students to important ecological issues and conservation efforts. We will mix lecture with engaging discussions and hands-on lab work in a hybrid format that will explore climate change, pollution, extinction, and other “hot topics” impacting our ecology today. Students will have the opportunity to review lecture material with module based videos and supplement their knowledge by reading news and research articles. Our laboratory experience will culminate in a group research project exploring the impact of various pollutants on the growth of plants over several laboratory sessions.
