Details about this class

Thanks for your interest in PS 297: Environmental Politics and Policy! This is an online class with no scheduled meetings. It will be conducted 100% online through D2L. The are no on-campus requirements, and there are no remote class meetings. I will use recorded video lectures to present/discuss some of course reading material. The online teaching/learning format provides students with maximum flexibility in completing weekly assignments, in accordance with weekly deadlines. Required activities include discussions, exams, a research paper and paper proposal, and a "presentation" on your research paper at the end of the term (this will be another discussion activity). 

The required textbook can be purchased through the PCC bookstore. Shop around for the best price. 

If you have any questions just let me know! You can reach me by email at tom.scales@pcc.edu.
