Project of Change or Research Paper | Environmental Justice Law and Policy |
Beginning in week four, students should form groups of not more than four students to work collaboratively on either 1) a final research paper or 2) a proposal for a project that responds to a contemporary issue in environmental justice. The project of change or research paper may be designed in collaboration with a local public agency or community-based organization, or by the team without outside consultation.

Exercise 5: Science, Policy, and Public Opinion | Introduction to Geology |
Your assignment is to research the questions below, and be prepared to argue either side of each issue. The class will be divided into groups, one for each issue, and each issue group will be divided in half: one half will argue in the affirmative, the other in the negative. You will not know which argument you will be making until you arrive in class, so research both sides of the issues! At the beginning of class, you will be given time to prepare your statements. We will then stage a debate for each issue, in which groups respond to questions posed by a moderator

Essay 3 | Writing about Nature and Environmental Issues |
Your third essay, like the second essay, should explore a question or problem that has emerged from your reading. You may not be able to arrive at an answer or a solution, but over the course of your essay, you should at least be able to refine the central question or identify a range of solutions for your problem. By the end of your third essay, your readers should be able to see what they have gained by exploring this question or problem with you. Stay close to the texts as you explore your chosen issue. Do not wander through the theoretical stratosphere. |
