EVRN ST 4078 - Research Methods in Environmental Studies

Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

This course covers basic research design and methods for environmental research, consulting, and practice. We build this around the theme of environmental impact assessment (EIA). During the course of your environmental careers, most of you will be expected to conduct, reference, evaluate, or otherwise incorporate EIA into your work. Most EIA’s incorporate a diverse set of research methods—and an understanding of a wide-ranging set of research methodologies, and when and how to deploy them—is a central objective for this course. The first third of the course covers project design and methods; the second third addresses the environmental impact assessment process and especially its methodological components; and the final section is a highly interactive (with much peer review) approach to the development and defense of the methodologies you employ in the research prospectus that you develop for this course.
