  • Critical Thinking
    • CLO 1: 1.0 Students will explain the basic chemical, biological, and physical principles of environmental science and will clearly communicate in writing the major concepts derived from course related readings.
    • CLO 2: 2.0 Students will describe the layers of the atmosphere, differentiate between climate and weather, identify major characteristics of a variety of weather systems, and understand how atmospheric conditions play a role in the environment, with focus on Florida.
    • CLO 3: 3.0 Students will describe the characteristics of water in freshwater and saltwater systems as it relates to the hydrologic cycle and the importance of water to life.
    • CLO 4: 4.0 Students will categorize and explain major geologic processes, the characteristics of minerals and rocks, and their economic importance as non-renewable resources.
    • CLO 5: 5.0 Students will describe the law of conservation of matter and the two laws of thermodynamics; compare renewable and nonrenewable energy and compare the environmental advantages and costs of each.
    • CLO 6: 6.0 Students will examine the interrelationship of living organisms within the physical environment of their specific environments as well as their interactions within their same species and the larger biological community.
    • CLO 7: 7.0 Students will categorize the diversity of ecosystems, inclusive of their physical and biological components.
    • CLO 8: 8.0 Students will interpret the human impact and behavior that relates to solid waste, plastics and other pollutants as a result of human activities and suggest possible solutions.
