BIOL 2250H - Honors Ecological & Environmental Stds

4 hours

Students will learn ecological terms and concepts through real-world research articles and events in the world. A class project will engage the students in an organization in our area doing relevant work with ecological principles such as the Hiwassee River Watershed Coalition or a campus greening project. Discussions will include ethical issues that arise from these real-world practices. Also included will be a weekend field trip to give students an adventure in the natural world - like paddling in a salt marsh or swamp or hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
