SCI 207 Week 3 Journal

Description

throughout this course, you will be asked to document and reflect on your experience in the class. The intent of this activity is (a) to enable you to track your progress with your Environmental Footprint project, and (b) to invite you to reflect on the terms, concepts, and processes you learned about throughout the week. Your journal post is intended as an exercise in metacognition or thinking about your own thinking and learning in this course. Your submissions will be evaluated by how well you cover your progress on making at least five lifestyle changes to lower your environmental footprints, and how clearly you identify and discuss content learned over the week.

To prepare for this assignment,

Review Chapter 5: Sustaining Our Freshwater Resources.

Review Chapter 6: Sustaining Our Oceans.

• Ensure you have participated in all discussions and completed all other assignments and activities for the week.
• Complete the following:
• Discuss each of your five specific environmental footprint reduction actions or habits and give an update on what progress was made between Week 2 and the end of Week 3 for each item. If you experienced challenges along the way, identify them and map out a plan to move closer toward that original goal, if possible. If, after some time, an action does not seem like it will work, then you can choose a new action to replace it.

Explain your learning from the 3rd week of class.

What are three new concepts or terms that you learned about?

• How have your outlooks on managing freshwater resources and our oceans changed because of this new knowledge?
• What topics might you be interested in learning more about in the future?

Look ahead to Week 4 where we will be examining issues related to our atmosphere and climate, including air pollution and global climate change.

• Discuss some ways that these new topics might intersect with what you learned this week about water management, including our oceans. How do the subjects of water management and our atmosphere and climate impact each other?
• The Environmental Footprint Report and Reflections on New Learning, Week 3 journal,
• must be at least 2 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA Style as outlined in the Writing Center’s APA Formatting for Microsoft Word
