Class Notes

Title: Climate change, biodiversity, and the environment. Students will explore a major ecological problem: global climate change and the loss of biodiversity on planet Earth. Students will choose a major research topic, then follow the same process as a scientist or policy analyst reviewing the current state of knowledge on a scientific or environmental problem. Although the class emphasized reading, understanding, and writing up scientific research, non-science students will find the class helpful for writing up research in any field. The class will be fully online, with frequent interactions between students and the instructor via online discussion posts. There is little time spent on zoom, except for office hours check-ins. There are no lectures or group work. Students will be shown how to use library databases (watching prerecorded videos) and will leave class with research-level information literacy skills across disciplines as they learn how to write up independent research. Visiting students - this course is designed only for UCSC students.
