EV 221 - Environmental Inquiry

Institution:

Colorado College

Subject:

Description:

This class is designed to serve as the first integrative "capstone" course for prospective Environmental Science majors. By focusing on diverse, multidisciplinary forms of inquiry - from scientific inquiry to governmental policy studies to business sector position papers and contributions from the humanities - this course will provide a structured analysis for exploring selected environmental issues and how they are viewed through diverse types of inquiry. The intended outcome is a comprehensive framework students will take with them into future courses that facilitates a broad approach to "inquiring" about any environmental issue or problem and detecting narrowness and bias in the arguments made by others concerning environmental challenges, issues, and problems. Prerequisite: Environmental Science 128 and Environmental Science 228 (or Mathematics 117 or Biology 220). Also open to declared Environmental Science Chemistry and Environmental Science Physics majors who have com- pleted Sustainable Development or Microeconomics (EV 141 or Economics 151) and Environmental Policy (EV 271 or Political Science 321). 1 unit - Perramond.
