Dear colleagues, I teach an undergraduate course in environmental policy where I like to introduce students to the theory of risk assessment, focusing on the Hurricane Katrina case study. However I'm stumped on how to do an exercise with them that is doable within class time. I've taught a similar module at the graduate level before which was much more involved. I'm just looking for something fairly simple but which communicates the challenges of assessing the probability and severity of an event and making an informed decision.
I would be grateful for any suggestions or advice, if you have exercises or resources you would like to share. As always, feel free to reply just to me and I'll compile and post responses later on. Thank you! Elizabeth -- Elizabeth M. De Santo Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies Department of Earth and Environment Franklin & Marshall College P.O.
