Going into ENVR 430, I had very little idea of what to expect and was concerned that this was a freshly redesigned course, little did I know it would be one of the most unique, and entertaining (I think you can guess why) courses I've enrolled in. This course truly felt fit for a final year, it was rather encompassing, touching on a lot of the subjects and issues I had learned about in past courses as well as on my own time, but much more in-depth. The inclusion of solutions to these issues is something that I'm surprised isn't core to more environmentally focused courses, it's usually all about the problem with a sprinkling of what has to be done. It is refreshing to be able to discuss the actions that will lead to change and has made my knowledge of such subjects more well-rounded. But what I think this course has shown the most, both in its content and the participation of others, is the value of different perspectives in science.

Hey Tyson,
Thank you for your post! I think the point you raised about solutions is so important. This course is one of the first ones I have taken that required us to devise our own solutions to environmental problems. As we have learned, it is much easier to talk about problems than to try and find answers!
