Course Objectives:
In this writing course, students have an
opportunity to examine their own writing process, learning to revise and edit
their own work. Students improve their writing through peer review, audience analysis,
and collaborative work. We look carefully at style, organization, format, and
development. Students critique the writing of their peers (both in the
classroom and in the field).
Students have the opportunity to analyze
writing as a way of learning and thinking. We analyze the way language is used
by the environment science community and examine some of the communication
problems between the environmental science community and the rest of the world.
W use writing to examine controversial issues and challenge some of the basic
assumptions held by the environmental science community.
Writing projects include: journal entries,
resume, cover letter, memo, definitions, environmental policy statements,
analysis and proposal, abstract, report, and oral presentation.
