posted by on friday, september 10, 2010 in podcast.

in this episode, we feature john ayers from the department of earth and environmental sciences. we join the discussion as he begins the discussion about the design and development of his sustainability course. he talks about student projects, gives examples of the topic areas the course includes, and suggests ways to present the facts in a manner that lets students draw their own conclusions, teaching them how to think, rather than what to think. view john ayers’ powerpoint presentation from this event.
