1 Environmental Science, Policy and Geography Department Academic Learning Compact Expected Academic Learning Compacts for ESP (BS. In ESP) Consistent with the Board of Governors Policy Guideline #PG , this document forms the Academic Learning Compact for the environmental science and policy department, specifying what students will be able to know and do upon graduating with a major in environmental science and policy. Within the compact is a description of learning outcomes, how they will be assessed, and the criterion for success. The learning outcomes encompass the following goals for students graduating from USFSP: content/discipline knowledge and skills, communication skills, scientific inquiry/critical thinking skills, and civic engagement. The Environmental Science and Policy department Mission is to develop solutions to the increasingly urgent problems resulting from human impacts on the environment; contribute to efforts to better understand and respond to those impacts; and protect and manage environmental resources in the face of population growth and economic change. The department goals mirror the USFSP institution and College of Arts and Sciences goals below and all SLO descriptions are summarized in Table 1. The Academic Learning Compact for the Environmental Science and Policy major addresses student learning in four areas: 1. Content/Discipline Skills 2. Communication Skills 3. Critical Thinking Skills 4. Civic Engagement Detailed Learning Outcomes for ESP Learning outcomes can be written at different levels of generality. Within each goal above are a set of specific learning outcomes that together stipulate the kinds of learning required to achieve the general goal. Additional layers of indicators can be presented at even greater specificity. Goals represent the highest layer of generality, followed by outcomes, and finally by indicators. The Table 5 summarizes SLOs. 1. Content/Discipline: Goals/Objectives a. Evaluate and implement the scientific process This goal is assessed by all students in EVR2001, GLY3720, and GLY4734 by questions asking students to explain the scientific process and to detail an example of its implementation on the final exam. b. Contrast important features and components of the major global ecosystems. This goal is assessed by all students in EVR 4921 with an exit assessment containing questions on major global ecosystems. 1 P age
2 c. Apply the science of ecology to specific issues the field of environmental science. This goal is assessed by all students in EVR 4921 with an exit assessment test will be administered containing questions testing knowledge of ecology. d. Demonstrate an understanding of the major environmental issues, the science underlying them (including chemistry, geology, and biology), and potential solutions, including scientific and policy strategies. This goal is assessed by all students in Environmental Chemistry with a final exam covering climate change, fate and transport of pollutants, ozone chemistry and all students EVR 4921 with an assessment test which will include questions testing knowledge in this area. e. Demonstrate competency in the application of mathematical and GIS concepts to the field of environmental science. This goal is assessed by all ESP major students taking GIS 3006, or GIS 5049 and GIS 4043 with (a) term project that requires synthesis and integration of GIS concepts tools and thinking and the Midterm II. Additionally, all ESP majors taking EVR2001, GLY3720, and GLY4734 are assessed with final test math questions, final paper, and data analysis assignment respectively. f. Demonstrate a thorough understanding of the major environmental policies under which political decisions are made. This goal is assessed by all students in EVR 2861 in a series of three examinations focusing on student understanding of the state of US environmental policy in relationship to air, water, land use, energy, waste management, biodiversity, natural resources, and human populations. Additionally, all students in EVR 4921 are assessed with an exit assessment test covering major environmental policies in the US and globally. g. Demonstrate an understanding of the framework of stages of policy development. This goal is assessed by all students in PUP 4203 with an exam on the process of environmental policy formation, adoption, implementation and evaluation. h. Demonstrate an understanding of underlying sustainability principles in the context of environmental sciences. This goal is assessed by all students in EVR 4873 with three examinations on environmental and sustainability issues, problems, and solutions. 2. Communication Skills a. Demonstrate the ability to write clearly and effectively and to produce well organized and well developed papers that report information on environmental science and policy, reflecting appropriate use of language and format. This goal is assessed by ESP students taking GIS 4043 with a term project that includes: introduction, objectives, literature review, methods, results/discussion and conclusions. Additionally, all ESP majors taking EVR2001, GLY3720, and GLY4734 are assessed with lab term paper/portfolios, final paper, and final review paper respectively. All EVR 2861 students are assessed with a research project paper with 3 sequential phases related to an environmental policy topic. Finally, all EVR 4921 students are assessed with a term paper. 2 P age
