Bringing the World In

Newspaper Article

Students read a newspaper and collaborate on assignments to explore a real-world sustainability problem or solution. Students gain a sense of currency of sustainability issues and how public discourse deals with sustainability, and develop awareness of media as a player in sustainability problems and solutions.

Example Learning Outcome: Systems Thinking
