| − | During the semester, several assignments will be required. These include:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Problem sets==
| |
| − | These are designed to reinforce material you have recently learned in the course units. Each "homework" is worth 6% of the overall grade, i.e., 30% in total.
| |
| − | * [[Chem321:Problem Set 1|Problem Set 1]], due June 6, 2011.
| |
| − | * [[Chem321:Problem Set 2|Problem Set 2]], due June 10, 2011.
| |
| − | * [[Chem321:Problem Set 3|Problem Set 3]], due June 14, 2011.
| |
| − | * [[Chem321:Problem Set 4|Problem Set 4]], due June 21, 2011.
| |
| − | * [[Chem321:Problem Set 5|Problem Set 5]], due June 24, 2011.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Role play and case presentation==
| |
| − | Students will take on various roles on the environmental committee of a fictitious manufacturing company. One assignment will involve two "virtual meetings" taking place during the weekly discussion timeslot where environmental problems will be reviewed and an environmental management system will be discussed. This will be worth 5% of your overall grade, and this is largely based on the quality of your participation. The purpose of this is to bring home the realities of trying to implement environmental improvements in a manufacturing business. It will also provide the context for the case presentation (see below).
| |
| − | | |
| − | You will also need to write a paper making the case for the company to invest in something to meet its sustainability goals. This is worth 10% of your total grade. The first draft of case presentations are due by June 17, and the final draft of case presentations are due by June 21. Work will be submitted to the wiki under the Creative Commons license and may be published more widely (though they can be deleted upon request by the student). Work may initially be done offline in word processing software such as Microsoft Word, but it should be uploaded and formatted for the wiki in order to receive a grade.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Term paper==
| |
| − | {{Main|Chem321:Term paper}}
| |
| − | The [[Chem321:Term paper|term paper]] is worth 15% of your overall grade. You will be expected to write a paper and a web page of around 2000 words on an environmentally benign product or process. The product or process should already exist and should have reached at least the prototype stage. There will be a first draft due Jun 27, 2011 and the final draft due by Jun 30, 2011.
