Abstract

This course studies the biological basis of environmental science and how humans are a powerful influence on the ecosystem. Emphasis is on the biological interrelations between natural resources, energy, pollution and human-population dynamics. It may be used to satisfy a lab-science requirement for non-science majors. Please note that all course materials and content are provided in the IMS Common Cartridge (IMSCC) format. The content can be accessed by opening the IMSCC file using your organization's Learning Management System application (these include Blackboard, D2L, Canvas etc.). Additional information about accessing Common Cartridge files can be found on the IMS Global Web site: http://www.imsglobal.org/cc. Future plans for the Skills Commons Web site include a feature that will allow users to view and download course content that is provided in the IMSCC format.
