Environment Appreciation (3) Su, F, S Development of awareness of the consequences of the impact of modem science through technology upon our environments and how we respond to issues related to threats of our biological life- support system. A definition of a quality environment is developed, with student input, and an analysis of the existing quality of our environment is made in light of this definition which challenges our collective wisdom to identify those things which we do well and to prescribe remedies for shortcomings. Three hours of lecture per week. An in-depth research paper on an environmental issue and an in-class lecture are required.
