Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

This is a fully online course presented as a series of weekly modules designed to guide you as you learn about global climate change. Weekly activities include pre-recorded lecture videos, readings, online discussions using the D2L platform, labs, and quizzes. Students who have the most success with this course block off a significant chunk of time in their weekly schedule to devote to completing the course activities. You will need a reliable internet connection for this course. Make sure you can access the online version of the textbook through the PCC library (you may also choose to buy a paper version of the text).

Please feel welcome to contact me by email (megan.faust@pcc.edu) with any questions you have about the course!
