ENVS 83 Environmental Social Science Research Methods

This course is designed to train students to conduct research in the area of human-environment interactions. Such interactions include humans extracting important renewable and non-renewable natural resources such as fish and forests, as well as producing wastes, such as greenhouse gases, as the result of modern economic activities. Students will learn data collection and analysis techniques and explore primary literature that uses these techniques in order to understand how they are implemented. Building on this process, a primary goal of the course is to have each student fully develop their own research proposal. This course is recommended for students planning to conduct graduate-level research or senior theses related to human-environment interactions.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
