BIO104: Environmental Science
BIO104: Environmental Science
By using an "earth systems" approach, students will recognize society and the environment as an interrelated system. Throughout the course, we will examine environmental issues and investigate realistic solutions. Students will understand the many environmental issues affecting our world and how we can affect them in the future, and the environmental impacts behind past and current world topics. Additionally, students will use the scientific method to think critically and conduct environmental experiments in the laboratory or in the field.
