Topics
to be covered are scientific analysis, interdependence of earth's systems,
human population dynamics, renewable and non-renewable resources,
environmental quality, global changes and their consequences, society and
decision-making vs trade-offs, and environmental choices for the future.
The main goal is to educate students about the relative risks associated
with the environmental problems and to examine alternative solutions for
resolving and/or preventing them. This course follows the College Board
Advanced Placement Syllabus, and students are strongly encouraged to take
the College Board exam in May.
