Study Help

As discussed in class, the exam is a mixture of in-class discussion and information from the book. To be fair, the exam is weighted so that information from chapters 3 and 4, which we have not discussed together, is much less significant - though reading and understanding the material is important. As there were no questions in response to my previous blog post, I assume the material from those chapters is crystal clear.

The exam will go as follows:

10 Matching questions

5 questions regarding significant people we've discussed

10 definition questions

10 short answer questions

2 essay questions

Be sure to look over all vocabulary from the chapters. Additionally, review "Easter Island," the Null Hypothesis, "The Story of Stuff," IPAT, Conservation of Mass and Energy, Voluntary Simplicity, Carrying capacity, "Tragedy of the Commons," and Pinchot/Gifford - among others.

Hope studying is going well.

DON'T FORGET! MIDTERM DURING OUR NEXT CLASS PERIOD! 10/22!

Week 4 Discussion

These next two weeks are about environmental science rather than the environmental studies we have discussed in the past class periods. The science can get mucky and a bit confusing. For discussion this week, please write 2 questions you have about the chapter (nutrient cycling, etc.) for us to go over in class.
