| Prerequisites: None The Rough Guide to Climate Change, 3rd ed., by Bob Henson, Rough Guides, 2011. This short non-technical book summarizes the current science, and deals with many other aspects of the overall issue. University Bookstore or $12.57 from Amazon, plus tax and shipping. You will need a TurningPoint Clicker for this course. They are available at the bookstore or on the UW Classifieds website. You may use an ipod or blackberry with special software if you prefer. Please be prepared to answer clicker questions every lecture. |
| Grading: Quizzes 40% Homework 20% In-class activities 15% Makeup quizzes and exam by prior arrangement only. No notes/book/sharing of answers allowed during the quizzes and exam. Cheating will not be tolerated! Homework will be done online, and no late homework can be allowed. It's okay to discuss HW problems with classmates, but turn in your own answers. We'll give you a Catalyst site for this later. |
| In-class
Activities: There will be regular in-class activities, which will vary from answering clicker questions (use only your own clicker) to class discussion and work in small groups. You will be asked to draw connections between the course material and current societal issues. In class, be respectful of others (respect your neighbor's views, this can be a politically charged topic). No talking, texting, internet surfing, etc, during class. |
| Strategies
for Success: Read the textbook and keep up. Attend lectures. The lectures indicate the topics the instructor believes are most challenging and important. Valuable example problems will be discussed in class and in discussion sections. Material will be given in lecture and discussion sections that is not in the textbook or readings and you will be expected to know it. Hash out questions with your classmates outside of class. Go to office hours or email the TAs when you need help. Don't be afraid to ask questions in class. |
| Additional info: To request academic accommodations due to a disability, please contact Disabled Student Services: 448 Schmitz, 206-543-8924 (V/TTY). If you have a letter from DSS indicating that you have a disability which requires academic accommodations, please present the letter to me so we can discuss the accommodations you might need in the class. Academic accommodations due to disability will not be made unless the student has a letter from DSS specifying the type and nature of accommodations needed. |
