Hello all of you out there that instruct undergraduate environmental
science courses. I instruct a junior level course at the University of
Florida, and I have started a yahoo group
(Globalizing_Environmental_Science) for the undergraduate students to
use as a discussion board. My hope if that I will find instructors at
other universities interested in having their students join the group.
Ideally I will post something for discussion every 2 weeks or so
(depending on how well a thread is going) relating to current topics.
The idea is for students to realize there is a MUCH bigger world out
there than UF, Gainesville, Florida, and the US. 85% of the students
enrolled in my course are Floridians, and I am hoping this list may help
broaden their horizons. I will use their interactions/posts as a part
of their participation grade. If you are interested please contact me
or look up our list on Yahoo Groups
(Globalizing_Environmental_Science). I teach this course on both fall
and spring. I look forward to hearing from some of you!
