Get OUTSIDE!

Fall 2019 — MWF 12 to 12:50

Fulfills (SLO) #12 in ESSENTIAL STUDIES

CAP 469E allows students to highlight their essential studies skills by focusing on interdisciplinary projects that stress the theme of “getting outside” yourself in various ways. Students have produced environmental/nature projects, or engaged new or novel tasks and experiences, or applied their previous knowledge to a new context: short fiction, photo-essays, blogs or websites or video content, or traditional scholarship or research reports and papers related to our region. In one case, a student created a contest to help middle school students become “young environmental stewards.”
