This course introduces ecology and the environment through an interdisciplinary approach beginning with the physical environment progressing to whole ecosystems and onto analyses of ecological sustainability. Classroom strategies and techniques will be modeled. Credit will not be awarded to students who have credit for ENV 790 or CNM 799. Texts and Course Materials: Miller, G. T. & Spoolman, S. (2007). Essentials of Ecology. Pacific Grove, CA: Brooks/Cole-Thomson Learning. Student Learning Outcomes: The students will be able to:

1. Define an ecosystem. 2. Explain the dynamics of a natural population within an ecosystem. 3. Categorize organisms by the function their serve in an ecosystem. 4. Describe biodiversity and the role it plays in a healthy ecosystem. 5. Explain the process of evolution and how it leads to the diversity of life. 6. Explain the energy flow through an ecosystem. 7. Describe limiting factors and their role in an ecosystem. 8. Illustrate the biogeochemical cycles. 9. Describe the global climate and the factors that influence it. 10. Describe the dynamics of human populations. 11. Describe human beings’ role within the world’s ecosystems and how human

activities can deliberately or inadvertently alter the dynamics in ecosystems. (Graduate SLO 1)

12. Examine the variety natural resources including water, air, land and food. 13. Propose factors necessary for sustainable use of natural resources. 14. Analyze the variety of wastes issues. (Graduate SLO 1) 15. Investigate environmental quality problems including pollution of various

types. 16. Analyze how science and technology are necessary but not sufficient for

solving local, national, and global issues. (Graduate SLO 4)

Course Requirements

1. Readings concept maps: After reading each chapter, students will develop a concept map using the important terms (designated by the instructor)

2. Environmental investigations report and presentations: Students will plan and implement an environmental investigation on a course related topic including appropriate data analysis. 700Level only: Students will communicate their findings through a written

report as well as a class presentation. A scoring guide will be provided.

3. Written exams: Students will complete a traditional midterm and final examination.

4. Field Journal: Daily class notes and activities will be recorded in a journal.

700 level only 5. Ecological Activity File: After evaluating a variety of materials, students

will compile an activity file targeting a particular ecological topic and grade level. A scoring guide will be provided.

Evaluation Methods Reading’s concept maps 50 points Environmental Investigation Report and Presentation 200 points Exams 200 points Field Journal 150 points Ecological Activity File 200 points TOTAL 800 points The course grade will be based on an accumulation of points on course requirements. Grade equivalent for accumulated points are as follows: 92-100% = A; 83- 91% = B; 74-82% = C; 65-74% = D, <65% = F Student Progress: The instructor will provide students with written information on their progress in the course at least once prior to the mid-point of the course through feedback on learning tasks.
