Introduction to Sustainability (SUST 1000) was approved for the undergraduate common core in June 2016. The course has been delivered four times, with each delivery taken as an opportunity to increase the use of in-class time for activities, rather than for content delivery. This process has been one of discovery – how to handle the on-line materials, how to set up in-class activities, how to assess for learning. As in any teaching endeavor, we are the ones who have learned the most, both about the subject and about how to deliver it.

Just as a potion might change the disposition of someone, music rather magically modulates the mood of listeners. |
