Welcome to the Website for the Online
Course Environment & Development (ENV 205) |
||||||
|
The Course: The course is designed to introduce students to the
impacts of environmental issues in developing countries. Students will become familiar with current
and historical environmental issues globally – with special focus on the
interrelatedness of environmental problems, cultural and social issues, and
economic issues facing both individuals and communities at large. Exploration of current methodologies for dealing
with these issues and possible future solutions will be an ongoing goal for
students in this course. |
||||||
|
Goals: § To explore the differences
between environmental concerns in developed and developing countries; § To understand interactions
between development, culture, and the exploitation of natural resources; § To recognize interactions
between development, culture, and human and ecological health; § To evaluate the role of
developed countries in promoting appropriate international environmental laws
and policies; § To identify approaches for
dealing with environmental issues facing developing countries. |

|
Message from Instructor: I see it as my duty to expose students to as many
developmentally-related environmental issues as possible. Instead of filling students with abstract
facts and ideas, it is my role (and my pleasure) to peak your interest and help
you gain some basic understanding of environmental issues that are facing
developing countries and our role as a developed country in these
issues. In addition, the asynchronous
delivery of this online course is designed to allow students to enroll who
might otherwise be prohibited from taking this class in a traditional
classroom-based section. |
