Summary of Learning Outcomes:
As a result of this course, you should be able to:
1) Define and critically evaluate the concept of “sustainability” from multiple perspectives in order to understand and engage in informed discussions, actions, and/or research that might influence socio-environmental sustainability.
2) Describe and evaluate examples of how archaeology, anthropology, and/or long-term studies of human-environment interactions can be used to inform modern sustainability studies in order to attempt similar efforts in this course.
3) Employ (in writing and verbally) an archaeologically/anthropologically-known case study to inform modern sustainability studies so that you develop your own perspective on how (if and to what extent) the past can be used to gain insights about sustainability.
4) Improve your ability to construct, evaluate, and communicate a scientific-style argument.
5) Use concept and argument mapping to improve your critical thinking skills, knowledge, and understanding of any subject.
