Integrative Studies BA/BS

Program Codes: INST
Bachelor of Science

Today's world is in the midst of transformative change—environmental, economic, technological, scientific, and cultural. These changes confront us with new perspectives on what constitutes an educated, empowered person. Institutions of higher education have evolving expectations for student learning and student success. Increasingly, higher education is asked to develop in students not only skills and knowledge required by specific disciplines, but also the interdisciplinary skills student's need to work with diverse groups of people, to develop solutions to unstructured problems, and to demonstrate the self-directed qualities of intentional students (Association of American Colleges and Universities [AAC&U], 2002, 2005, 2007).

Paul Smith’s College endeavors to provide a quality education for its students. Our mission is to educate students to become productive citizens by combining experiential and traditional instruction through our commitment to discovery, discipline, and creativity. PSC programs address student interest in a number of professional programs that provide students with the knowledge and skills to be successful in these areas. The College is also committed to provide depth and breadth in a variety of areas that have been identified as essential to students’ lives.

The Integrated General Education (IGE) Program established five important competency areas that define the competence and skills necessary to become productive citizens in today’s world: analytical reasoning & scientific inquiry, quantitative problem solving, written communication, social & cultural engagement, and responsibility & expression. The following BA/BS/AS or AA degree in Integrative Studies builds on our Integrated General Education program by allowing students flexibility in developing their own self-designed major. Through this program, students select concentration tracks that appeal to them and form a basis for their future career and personal goals. The program also builds on the IGE program by placing greater emphasis on the skill areas such as financial competency and computer competency which will improve student success rates after college. A BA/BS in Integrative Studies complements the degree programs now available for students to select at Paul Smith’s College. This innovative degree allows students to discover their world and themselves without selecting one of our more career specific majors. A degree in Integrative Studies provides a way for entering students to explore, learn, and identify a focus later in their course work. In addition, this program improves the flexibility of our baccalaureate design by allowing current students in two year programs to add to their Associate's degree with an additional two-years of courses that connect their programmatic focus to their future interests.

At the end of the program students will be able to:

  • Coherently integrate diverse elements from multiple domains of knowledge and practice to create a thesis, product, performance, or other kind of artifact within an appropriate context.
  • Communicate organized and informed ideas clearly and persuasively to diverse audiences in writing.
  • Apply quantitative and mathematical methods and models to develop potential solutions to real-world problems and financial decision making.
  • Generate meaning by using appropriate research methodologies to collect, analyze, evaluate and synthesize data.
  • Collaborate, interact and empathize with individuals and groups who represent diverse cultures, and contemporary and historic perspectives.
  • Creatively express an informed point of view regarding human experience, cultures, values, and choices in a manner appropriate to audience and context.

Bachelor Degree (BA/BS)

Students will be given the opportunity to integrate two or three topics in either a BA or BS model. The selection will depend on student interest and prerequisite coursework. Working collaboratively with their advisor, students will define a graduation plan in their sophomore year that clearly outlines which topics and degree they are pursuing. Please see the program planning guide for more information and a semester by semester course guide example.

Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

      Course Code : DMR 330

      Course Description :

      When a disaster strikes, the goal of first responders is to reduce immediate risks to human health and the environment. State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

                                      When a disaster strikes, the goal of first responders is to reduce immediate risks to human health and the environment. State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

                                      Course Description : Restoration ecology is the science that underpins and guides the practice of ecological restoration. It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

                                                              Course Description : The course investigates the causes and effects of natural and human disasters (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunami, landslides, subsidence, flooding, severe weather, and mass wasting) and options available to mitigate such. Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

Non-Western music, or 'World' Music, will be explored and discussed in order to emphasize the universality of musical expression. Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field.

Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

                                                                                                                                      When a disaster strikes, the goal of first responders is to reduce immediate risks to human health and the environment. State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

In a comparative and evolutionary based approach, the course integrates across the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organ systems, and whole-animal levels of organization to understand the role that these processes play in everyday life. Appropriately, in our Adirondack environment, the course includes an additional focus on the physiological adaptations to life in extreme environments. The laboratory component provides hands-on experience exploring and evaluating the concepts discussed in lecture.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course. Time or similar magazine and a polemical novel will be two of our texts. At semester's end students will prepare a lengthy written argument along with an oral presentation.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

This course studies the intersection between two traditional disciplines: Sociology and Psychology. By analyzing individuals' thoughts, feelings and behavior as they affect or are affected by other individuals we will understand how our affiliation with a group shapes us.  Prerequisities: SOC 2XX or PSY 2XX.    Completes General Education Requirements: RE-I, SC-I, LAS.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course. Time or similar magazine and a polemical novel will be two of our texts. At semester's end students will prepare a lengthy written argument along with an oral presentation.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

The semester will begin with the fundamentals in common musical concepts (basic notation, rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, texture, and form) and then survey the principal periods of Western Music (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern). The course will also examine the way in which popular music incorporates the techniques and forms of the composers of the past. Non-Western music, or 'World' Music, will be explored and discussed in order to emphasize the universality of musical expression. Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

This course studies the intersection between two traditional disciplines: Sociology and Psychology. By analyzing individuals' thoughts, feelings and behavior as they affect or are affected by other individuals we will understand how our affiliation with a group shapes us.  Prerequisities: SOC 2XX or PSY 2XX.    Completes General Education Requirements: RE-I, SC-I, LAS.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The project provides a representative sample of student work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work to complete an applied research project developed during the Forestry Capstone Planning Seminar. Examples of projects include: forest stewardship plans, ecological research studies, and timber harvest plans with implementation. Students will work alone under the supervision of a mentor toward the established standards for successful completion of the Forestry Capstone Project. Students are required to prepare a substantial written report demonstrating the students? project focus as well as the integration of their work. Students are also required to prepare an oral presentation (1 hour lecture plus significant outside of class work). Prerequisites: FOR 461: Forestry Capstone Project Planning Seminar and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement.

Students will discuss and apply philosophical and ethical values as they assess recreation program decision making and effectiveness in consideration of current theoretical and applied issues in the recreation professions. In the applied element of the course, students will develop a research-based solution to a specific recreation concern or opportunity at the campus visitor interpretive center that requires the application of these principles. Students must integrate ecological and social-cultural information relevant to the interpretive center?s concerns and opportunities and ultimately develop a program provision and management plan designed to meet the programmatic goals defined by interpretive center?s administrative team. Working collaboratively, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate team management, consensus building, planning, and reporting. Students will also define a philosophical statement that articulates career goals and action plan.

Students will examine the ecological, cultural, and social dimensions of a specific community or region, focusing on sustainability issues such as food security, renewable energy, conservation, sense of place, lost arts/creative arts, cultural traditions, narratives, and community resiliency. The instructor will provide an overarching research question; however, students will develop their own sub-questions that will serve as the basis for independent inquiry. Once students have completed their independent inquiry, they will work as a group to link and synthesize their findings as applied to the original research question or issue. Capstone.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

Students will explore the basis (genetics to environmental) for animal behavior and be able to describe, quantify, and analyze animal behavior. Students will use Tinbergen's four why questions (development, causation, function and evolution) to explain animal behaviors such as foraging, reproductive, social and parental behaviors. Students should have a good understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis before taking Animal Behavior.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

In this information age we are deluged with large amounts of information. The process of technical communication involves, collecting, organizing and evaluating that information and then translating it into easily understood formats through a variety of media. Technical communication also involves writing to prescribed criteria such as grant applications, report specifications and other formats. Therefore this course requires consideration of research, visuals, format, audience-awareness, syntax, semantics, and most importantly, the ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course. Time or similar magazine and a polemical novel will be two of our texts. At semester's end students will prepare a lengthy written argument along with an oral presentation.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Explorers like Meriweather Lewis, naturalists like William Bartram, poets like Henry David Thoreau, artists like John James Audubon, adventurers like John Wesley Powell, scientists like E.O. Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field.

The course will also examine the way in which popular music incorporates the techniques and forms of the composers of the past. Non-Western music, or 'World' Music, will be explored and discussed in order to emphasize the universality of musical expression. Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

It is a broad and integrative field which includes theoretical and therapeutic dimensions exploring the cosmology of human consciousness as originating within the living communities of the Earth. Human health and wellness is understood as a function of living harmoniously as a member of the interconnected web of life. The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Students are given a natural resource problem or environmental issue and use an INRM approach to find a solution. Students must integrate relevant environmental and social-cultural information to assess the problem, and develop either a management plan for a given landscape unit or watershed, or produce a scientific report with management implications or recommendations. Other outcomes include presentations in an open forum. Students will have the opportunity to develop collaboration and team management skills through consensus building, planning, project execution and reporting. Capstone Course.

It will investigate how the public expresses their needs, how the park board prioritizes the public need, and how various administrations provide the funds to build and maintain the parks. It will analyze how design minimizes vandalism, discourages undesirable activities, reduces conflict between vehicles and pedestrians and allows the park to be available to those with disabilities. The course will explore various methods of demonstrating design, both visually and orally. The course will communicate new material and utilize previous knowledge gained in other related courses. This is a Capstone course. Prerequisite: PRK 475 Park and Recreation Design.

It provides a representative sample of student work that may be used to assess student learning. The Group Project enables a class of students to investigate a topic of interest determined during Research Methods in Psychology. Students will work in small groups, and as individuals, toward the completion of the overall class goal. Students are required to prepare a substantial written report describing the project, as well as the integration of their work, and an oral presentation for their group. Alternatively, students may work independently on their projects developed during Research Methods in Psychology, under the supervision of the instructor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, that include a substantial written report and an oral presentation.

Students will discuss and apply philosophical and ethical values as they assess recreation program decision making and effectiveness in consideration of current theoretical and applied issues in the recreation professions. In the applied element of the course, students will develop a research-based solution to a specific recreation concern or opportunity at the campus visitor interpretive center that requires the application of these principles. Students must integrate ecological and social-cultural information relevant to the interpretive center?s concerns and opportunities and ultimately develop a program provision and management plan designed to meet the programmatic goals defined by interpretive center?s administrative team. Working collaboratively, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate team management, consensus building, planning, and reporting. Students will also define a philosophical statement that articulates career goals and action plan. Prerequisites: REC 240 Outdoor Education Program Design + Planning and Senior Status This course satisfies the Capstone requirement.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

The work in planning will become ?drafts? to modify and build on in the project phase. Students are expected to broaden their understanding and application of skills gained in courses leading up to the Capstone, such as literature review, research methods, study design, and effective communication of information. The result of this effort will be a completed, approved proposal, prepared according to the guidelines established for Capstone Projects. Each student will select a mentor who will serve as the student's supervisor for the project. (1 hour lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 General Biology I and MAT 210 Statistics LAS

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. (1 hour lecture and independent time). Prerequisites: SCI 461 Independent Capstone Proposal Development and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement. LAS

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

The work in planning will become ?drafts? to modify and build on in the project phase. Students are expected to broaden their understanding and application of skills gained in courses leading up to the Capstone, such as literature review, research methods, study design, and effective communication of information. The result of this effort will be a completed, approved proposal, prepared according to the guidelines established for Capstone Projects. Each student will select a mentor who will serve as the student's supervisor for the project. (1 hour lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 General Biology I and MAT 210 Statistics LAS

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

In a comparative and evolutionary based approach, the course integrates across the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organ systems, and whole-animal levels of organization to understand the role that these processes play in everyday life. Appropriately, in our Adirondack environment, the course includes an additional focus on the physiological adaptations to life in extreme environments. The laboratory component provides hands-on experience exploring and evaluating the concepts discussed in lecture.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

Students will explore the basis (genetics to environmental) for animal behavior and be able to describe, quantify, and analyze animal behavior. Students will use Tinbergen's four why questions (development, causation, function and evolution) to explain animal behaviors such as foraging, reproductive, social and parental behaviors. Students should have a good understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis before taking Animal Behavior.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

In this information age we are deluged with large amounts of information. The process of technical communication involves, collecting, organizing and evaluating that information and then translating it into easily understood formats through a variety of media. Technical communication also involves writing to prescribed criteria such as grant applications, report specifications and other formats. Therefore this course requires consideration of research, visuals, format, audience-awareness, syntax, semantics, and most importantly, the ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why?

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course. Time or similar magazine and a polemical novel will be two of our texts. At semester's end students will prepare a lengthy written argument along with an oral presentation.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Particular emphasis will be placed on wilderness encounters as seen in its classic, mostly American, environmental writers from the early republic to more recent times. Explorers like Meriweather Lewis, naturalists like William Bartram, poets like Henry David Thoreau, artists like John James Audubon, adventurers like John Wesley Powell, scientists like E.O. Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

The lecture portion will cover three essential foundations: ecosystem patterns and process that govern the flow of energy and material resources, ongoing and emerging issues that affect these patterns and processes, and management approaches used to address these issues. Emphasis will be given to ecological restoration as a management approach to ecosystem recovery as a science and as a way of understanding and re-connecting people to the environment. The field portion will focus on comparisons of physical environments, biological assessment, and monitoring, and matters of scale in defining environmental problems and solutions. Students will become acquainted with current research and management approaches in the Adirondacks and other regions. (3 hour lecture, 3 hour lab).

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

The semester will begin with the fundamentals in common musical concepts (basic notation, rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, texture, and form) and then survey the principal periods of Western Music (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern). The course will also examine the way in which popular music incorporates the techniques and forms of the composers of the past. Non-Western music, or 'World' Music, will be explored and discussed in order to emphasize the universality of musical expression. Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

Class discussion and reading will be centered on a selection of short literary readings from a variety of well-known Spanish authors. Selected review of key grammatical differences between Spanish and English will occur in the context of the study of Spanish literature. Also, the class will study lexical options in context (i.e., denotational vs. connotational, colloquial and dialectical, the dangers of false cognates, etc.). (3 hours lecture).

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of multivariable calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the possibilities for problem solving when freed from the constraints of modeling with one independent variable. Approximating functions with Taylor and Fourier series, vectors, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, the differential, methods of calculating multiple integrals, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view. If time permits, line integrals, flux integrals, divergence and curl will be discussed. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 242 Calculus II Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

It is a broad and integrative field which includes theoretical and therapeutic dimensions exploring the cosmology of human consciousness as originating within the living communities of the Earth. Human health and wellness is understood as a function of living harmoniously as a member of the interconnected web of life. The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

Both traditional theories and approaches to treatment, and more recent developments will be included. Course will consider what injury and recovery can teach us about ?normal? mental/physical functioning and address the ethical issues of how the medical system and society treat patients with brain injuries.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

Cultural Anthropology provides students with an opportunity to explore and understand the diversity of human thought and behavior that characterize different cultures. Through the application of theoretical frameworks developed by anthropologists and the use of case studies from five continents, students will learn how we, in the Western world, can understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures and cultural expression found throughout the world today.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of multivariable calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the possibilities for problem solving when freed from the constraints of modeling with one independent variable. Approximating functions with Taylor and Fourier series, vectors, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, the differential, methods of calculating multiple integrals, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view. If time permits, line integrals, flux integrals, divergence and curl will be discussed. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 242 Calculus II Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

This foundation course explores what is meant by the term communication. Students will consider communication theories and models that form interpersonal relationships, group dynamics, and public communication. Students will develop an analytical approach to communication experienced in their own lives and apply that knowledge to make choices about meanings and responses in appropriate, ethical, and effective ways. By the end of the course, students will analyze the connection between effective communication and strong leadership. Completes General Education Requirements:SC-F, LAS.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

In this information age we are deluged with large amounts of information. The process of technical communication involves, collecting, organizing and evaluating that information and then translating it into easily understood formats through a variety of media. Technical communication also involves writing to prescribed criteria such as grant applications, report specifications and other formats. Therefore this course requires consideration of research, visuals, format, audience-awareness, syntax, semantics, and most importantly, the ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course. Time or similar magazine and a polemical novel will be two of our texts. At semester's end students will prepare a lengthy written argument along with an oral presentation.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Explorers like Meriweather Lewis, naturalists like William Bartram, poets like Henry David Thoreau, artists like John James Audubon, adventurers like John Wesley Powell, scientists like E.O. Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Within the organization, the students will assist in the creation of interview questions for key personnel and review business standards and procedures to understand its current operations. The students will research industry trends, best practice methods, and key performance measures to report to team leaders, in order for the team to develop multiple alternatives or business scenarios for the organization to consider. A professional findings report, that discusses the selected solutions along with advantages and disadvantages of each, will be a major deliverable of the course.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course. Time or similar magazine and a polemical novel will be two of our texts. At semester's end students will prepare a lengthy written argument along with an oral presentation.

Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Within the organization, the students will assist in the creation of interview questions for key personnel and review business standards and procedures to understand its current operations. The students will research industry trends, best practice methods, and key performance measures to report to team leaders, in order for the team to develop multiple alternatives or business scenarios for the organization to consider. A professional findings report, that discusses the selected solutions along with advantages and disadvantages of each, will be a major deliverable of the course.

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course. Time or similar magazine and a polemical novel will be two of our texts. At semester's end students will prepare a lengthy written argument along with an oral presentation.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

Class discussion and reading will be centered on a selection of short literary readings from a variety of well-known Spanish authors. Selected review of key grammatical differences between Spanish and English will occur in the context of the study of Spanish literature.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

Professionals involved in disaster operations and recovery include elected and appointed officials, city and county administrators, emergency managers, public works directors, building officials, community planners, emergency services personnel, and other allied professionals. Training and education in disaster operations is a critical first step towards ensuring successful disaster operations. Through the structured guidance of the FEMA- EMI students interested in public service, emergency fields, healthcare facilities, first response will gain a working knowledge of disaster preparedness, response and recovery.   Pre-requisite: DMR 101

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

The work in planning will become ?drafts? to modify and build on in the project phase. Students are expected to broaden their understanding and application of skills gained in courses leading up to the Capstone, such as literature review, research methods, study design, and effective communication of information. The result of this effort will be a completed, approved proposal, prepared according to the guidelines established for Capstone Projects.

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. (1 hour lecture and independent time). Prerequisites: SCI 461 Independent Capstone Proposal Development and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement. LAS

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

Professionals involved in disaster operations and recovery include elected and appointed officials, city and county administrators, emergency managers, public works directors, building officials, community planners, emergency services personnel, and other allied professionals. Training and education in disaster operations is a critical first step towards ensuring successful disaster operations. Through the structured guidance of the FEMA- EMI students interested in public service, emergency fields, healthcare facilities, first response will gain a working knowledge of disaster preparedness, response and recovery.   Pre-requisite: DMR 101

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

The work in planning will become ?drafts? to modify and build on in the project phase. Students are expected to broaden their understanding and application of skills gained in courses leading up to the Capstone, such as literature review, research methods, study design, and effective communication of information. The result of this effort will be a completed, approved proposal, prepared according to the guidelines established for Capstone Projects. Each student will select a mentor who will serve as the student's supervisor for the project. (1 hour lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 General Biology I and MAT 210 Statistics LAS

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. (1 hour lecture and independent time). Prerequisites: SCI 461 Independent Capstone Proposal Development and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement. LAS

Students are given a biological or environmental issue and use a scientific approach to find a solution. Students must integrate relevant biological or environmental and social-cultural information to research a question, and develop either a management plan for a given landscape unit or produce a scientific report. Students will develop collaboration and team management skills through consensus building, planning, project execution and reporting. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. Prerequisites: MAT 210 Statistics and (BIO 210 General Ecology or FOR 310 Forest Ecology) and Senior Status.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

Professionals involved in disaster operations and recovery include elected and appointed officials, city and county administrators, emergency managers, public works directors, building officials, community planners, emergency services personnel, and other allied professionals. Training and education in disaster operations is a critical first step towards ensuring successful disaster operations. Through the structured guidance of the FEMA- EMI students interested in public service, emergency fields, healthcare facilities, first response will gain a working knowledge of disaster preparedness, response and recovery.   Pre-requisite: DMR 101

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

The work in planning will become ?drafts? to modify and build on in the project phase. Students are expected to broaden their understanding and application of skills gained in courses leading up to the Capstone, such as literature review, research methods, study design, and effective communication of information. The result of this effort will be a completed, approved proposal, prepared according to the guidelines established for Capstone Projects. Each student will select a mentor who will serve as the student's supervisor for the project. (1 hour lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 General Biology I and MAT 210 Statistics LAS

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. (1 hour lecture and independent time). Prerequisites: SCI 461 Independent Capstone Proposal Development and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement. LAS

Students are given a biological or environmental issue and use a scientific approach to find a solution. Students must integrate relevant biological or environmental and social-cultural information to research a question, and develop either a management plan for a given landscape unit or produce a scientific report. Students will develop collaboration and team management skills through consensus building, planning, project execution and reporting. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. Prerequisites: MAT 210 Statistics and (BIO 210 General Ecology or FOR 310 Forest Ecology) and Senior Status.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

In a comparative and evolutionary based approach, the course integrates across the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organ systems, and whole-animal levels of organization to understand the role that these processes play in everyday life. Appropriately, in our Adirondack environment, the course includes an additional focus on the physiological adaptations to life in extreme environments. The laboratory component provides hands-on experience exploring and evaluating the concepts discussed in lecture.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

Students will explore the basis (genetics to environmental) for animal behavior and be able to describe, quantify, and analyze animal behavior. Students will use Tinbergen's four why questions (development, causation, function and evolution) to explain animal behaviors such as foraging, reproductive, social and parental behaviors. Students should have a good understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis before taking Animal Behavior.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

In this information age we are deluged with large amounts of information. The process of technical communication involves, collecting, organizing and evaluating that information and then translating it into easily understood formats through a variety of media. Technical communication also involves writing to prescribed criteria such as grant applications, report specifications and other formats. Therefore this course requires consideration of research, visuals, format, audience-awareness, syntax, semantics, and most importantly, the ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course. Time or similar magazine and a polemical novel will be two of our texts. At semester's end students will prepare a lengthy written argument along with an oral presentation.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Particular emphasis will be placed on wilderness encounters as seen in its classic, mostly American, environmental writers from the early republic to more recent times. Explorers like Meriweather Lewis, naturalists like William Bartram, poets like Henry David Thoreau, artists like John James Audubon, adventurers like John Wesley Powell, scientists like E.O. Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

The lecture portion will cover three essential foundations: ecosystem patterns and process that govern the flow of energy and material resources, ongoing and emerging issues that affect these patterns and processes, and management approaches used to address these issues. Emphasis will be given to ecological restoration as a management approach to ecosystem recovery as a science and as a way of understanding and re-connecting people to the environment. The field portion will focus on comparisons of physical environments, biological assessment, and monitoring, and matters of scale in defining environmental problems and solutions. Students will become acquainted with current research and management approaches in the Adirondacks and other regions. (3 hour lecture, 3 hour lab).

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

The semester will begin with the fundamentals in common musical concepts (basic notation, rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, texture, and form) and then survey the principal periods of Western Music (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern). The course will also examine the way in which popular music incorporates the techniques and forms of the composers of the past. Non-Western music, or 'World' Music, will be explored and discussed in order to emphasize the universality of musical expression. Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

Class discussion and reading will be centered on a selection of short literary readings from a variety of well-known Spanish authors. Selected review of key grammatical differences between Spanish and English will occur in the context of the study of Spanish literature. Also, the class will study lexical options in context (i.e., denotational vs. connotational, colloquial and dialectical, the dangers of false cognates, etc.). (3 hours lecture).

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of multivariable calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the possibilities for problem solving when freed from the constraints of modeling with one independent variable. Approximating functions with Taylor and Fourier series, vectors, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, the differential, methods of calculating multiple integrals, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view. If time permits, line integrals, flux integrals, divergence and curl will be discussed. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 242 Calculus II Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

It is a broad and integrative field which includes theoretical and therapeutic dimensions exploring the cosmology of human consciousness as originating within the living communities of the Earth. Human health and wellness is understood as a function of living harmoniously as a member of the interconnected web of life. The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

This course studies the intersection between two traditional disciplines: Sociology and Psychology. By analyzing individuals' thoughts, feelings and behavior as they affect or are affected by other individuals we will understand how our affiliation with a group shapes us.  Prerequisities: SOC 2XX or PSY 2XX.    Completes General Education Requirements: RE-I, SC-I, LAS.

Both traditional theories and approaches to treatment, and more recent developments will be included. Course will consider what injury and recovery can teach us about ?normal? mental/physical functioning and address the ethical issues of how the medical system and society treat patients with brain injuries.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

Cultural Anthropology provides students with an opportunity to explore and understand the diversity of human thought and behavior that characterize different cultures. Through the application of theoretical frameworks developed by anthropologists and the use of case studies from five continents, students will learn how we, in the Western world, can understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures and cultural expression found throughout the world today.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

In a comparative and evolutionary based approach, the course integrates across the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organ systems, and whole-animal levels of organization to understand the role that these processes play in everyday life. Appropriately, in our Adirondack environment, the course includes an additional focus on the physiological adaptations to life in extreme environments. The laboratory component provides hands-on experience exploring and evaluating the concepts discussed in lecture.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

Students will explore the basis (genetics to environmental) for animal behavior and be able to describe, quantify, and analyze animal behavior. Students will use Tinbergen's four why questions (development, causation, function and evolution) to explain animal behaviors such as foraging, reproductive, social and parental behaviors. Students should have a good understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis before taking Animal Behavior.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time.

In this information age we are deluged with large amounts of information. The process of technical communication involves, collecting, organizing and evaluating that information and then translating it into easily understood formats through a variety of media. Technical communication also involves writing to prescribed criteria such as grant applications, report specifications and other formats. Therefore this course requires consideration of research, visuals, format, audience-awareness, syntax, semantics, and most importantly, the ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course. Time or similar magazine and a polemical novel will be two of our texts. At semester's end students will prepare a lengthy written argument along with an oral presentation.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Particular emphasis will be placed on wilderness encounters as seen in its classic, mostly American, environmental writers from the early republic to more recent times. Explorers like Meriweather Lewis, naturalists like William Bartram, poets like Henry David Thoreau, artists like John James Audubon, adventurers like John Wesley Powell, scientists like E.O. Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

Selections from Native American, Hispanic, African-American, Jewish and other traditions will be read and discussed along with the works of such traditional figures as Mark Twain, Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, and William Faulkner.

The lecture portion will cover three essential foundations: ecosystem patterns and process that govern the flow of energy and material resources, ongoing and emerging issues that affect these patterns and processes, and management approaches used to address these issues. Emphasis will be given to ecological restoration as a management approach to ecosystem recovery as a science and as a way of understanding and re-connecting people to the environment. The field portion will focus on comparisons of physical environments, biological assessment, and monitoring, and matters of scale in defining environmental problems and solutions. Students will become acquainted with current research and management approaches in the Adirondacks and other regions. (3 hour lecture, 3 hour lab).

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

The semester will begin with the fundamentals in common musical concepts (basic notation, rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, texture, and form) and then survey the principal periods of Western Music (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern). The course will also examine the way in which popular music incorporates the techniques and forms of the composers of the past. Non-Western music, or 'World' Music, will be explored and discussed in order to emphasize the universality of musical expression. Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

Class discussion and reading will be centered on a selection of short literary readings from a variety of well-known Spanish authors. Selected review of key grammatical differences between Spanish and English will occur in the context of the study of Spanish literature. Also, the class will study lexical options in context (i.e., denotational vs. connotational, colloquial and dialectical, the dangers of false cognates, etc.). (3 hours lecture).

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of multivariable calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the possibilities for problem solving when freed from the constraints of modeling with one independent variable. Approximating functions with Taylor and Fourier series, vectors, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, the differential, methods of calculating multiple integrals, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

The course will give the students an appreciation of how the bio-physical environment and human social systems can be made to work together through the planning process. Skills that will be developed include ecological analysis, cartography, and social science research methods. The course will examine case studies where different approaches to land use planning were used.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

Students will learn about the parameters that describe motion and the inter-relationships between motion and force that are embodied in Newton's laws. They will specifically study straight line motion, plane motion, rotation, equilibrium, and gravitation. Through this study, students will become familiar with the basic concepts that form the foundation of natural science. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab) Prerequisite: MAT 125 Algebra.

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

It is a broad and integrative field which includes theoretical and therapeutic dimensions exploring the cosmology of human consciousness as originating within the living communities of the Earth. Human health and wellness is understood as a function of living harmoniously as a member of the interconnected web of life. The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

This course studies the intersection between two traditional disciplines: Sociology and Psychology. By analyzing individuals' thoughts, feelings and behavior as they affect or are affected by other individuals we will understand how our affiliation with a group shapes us.  Prerequisities: SOC 2XX or PSY 2XX.    Completes General Education Requirements: RE-I, SC-I, LAS.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

Cultural Anthropology provides students with an opportunity to explore and understand the diversity of human thought and behavior that characterize different cultures. Through the application of theoretical frameworks developed by anthropologists and the use of case studies from five continents, students will learn how we, in the Western world, can understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures and cultural expression found throughout the world today.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

Professionals involved in disaster operations and recovery include elected and appointed officials, city and county administrators, emergency managers, public works directors, building officials, community planners, emergency services personnel, and other allied professionals. Training and education in disaster operations is a critical first step towards ensuring successful disaster operations. Through the structured guidance of the FEMA- EMI students interested in public service, emergency fields, healthcare facilities, first response will gain a working knowledge of disaster preparedness, response and recovery.   Pre-requisite: DMR 101

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. (1 hour lecture and independent time). Prerequisites: SCI 461 Independent Capstone Proposal Development and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement. LAS

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

Professionals involved in disaster operations and recovery include elected and appointed officials, city and county administrators, emergency managers, public works directors, building officials, community planners, emergency services personnel, and other allied professionals. Training and education in disaster operations is a critical first step towards ensuring successful disaster operations. Through the structured guidance of the FEMA- EMI students interested in public service, emergency fields, healthcare facilities, first response will gain a working knowledge of disaster preparedness, response and recovery.   Pre-requisite: DMR 101

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

The work in planning will become ?drafts? to modify and build on in the project phase. Students are expected to broaden their understanding and application of skills gained in courses leading up to the Capstone, such as literature review, research methods, study design, and effective communication of information. The result of this effort will be a completed, approved proposal, prepared according to the guidelines established for Capstone Projects. Each student will select a mentor who will serve as the student's supervisor for the project. (1 hour lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 General Biology I and MAT 210 Statistics LAS

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course.

Students are given a biological or environmental issue and use a scientific approach to find a solution. Students must integrate relevant biological or environmental and social-cultural information to research a question, and develop either a management plan for a given landscape unit or produce a scientific report. Students will develop collaboration and team management skills through consensus building, planning, project execution and reporting. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

Professionals involved in disaster operations and recovery include elected and appointed officials, city and county administrators, emergency managers, public works directors, building officials, community planners, emergency services personnel, and other allied professionals. Training and education in disaster operations is a critical first step towards ensuring successful disaster operations. Through the structured guidance of the FEMA- EMI students interested in public service, emergency fields, healthcare facilities, first response will gain a working knowledge of disaster preparedness, response and recovery.   Pre-requisite: DMR 101

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

The work in planning will become ?drafts? to modify and build on in the project phase. Students are expected to broaden their understanding and application of skills gained in courses leading up to the Capstone, such as literature review, research methods, study design, and effective communication of information. The result of this effort will be a completed, approved proposal, prepared according to the guidelines established for Capstone Projects. Each student will select a mentor who will serve as the student's supervisor for the project. (1 hour lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 General Biology I and MAT 210 Statistics LAS

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. (1 hour lecture and independent time). Prerequisites: SCI 461 Independent Capstone Proposal Development and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement. LAS

Students are given a biological or environmental issue and use a scientific approach to find a solution. Students must integrate relevant biological or environmental and social-cultural information to research a question, and develop either a management plan for a given landscape unit or produce a scientific report. Students will develop collaboration and team management skills through consensus building, planning, project execution and reporting. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

In a comparative and evolutionary based approach, the course integrates across the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organ systems, and whole-animal levels of organization to understand the role that these processes play in everyday life. Appropriately, in our Adirondack environment, the course includes an additional focus on the physiological adaptations to life in extreme environments. The laboratory component provides hands-on experience exploring and evaluating the concepts discussed in lecture.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

Students will explore the basis (genetics to environmental) for animal behavior and be able to describe, quantify, and analyze animal behavior. Students will use Tinbergen's four why questions (development, causation, function and evolution) to explain animal behaviors such as foraging, reproductive, social and parental behaviors. Students should have a good understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis before taking Animal Behavior.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

In this information age we are deluged with large amounts of information. The process of technical communication involves, collecting, organizing and evaluating that information and then translating it into easily understood formats through a variety of media. Technical communication also involves writing to prescribed criteria such as grant applications, report specifications and other formats. Therefore this course requires consideration of research, visuals, format, audience-awareness, syntax, semantics, and most importantly, the ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why?

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Particular emphasis will be placed on wilderness encounters as seen in its classic, mostly American, environmental writers from the early republic to more recent times. Explorers like Meriweather Lewis, naturalists like William Bartram, poets like Henry David Thoreau, artists like John James Audubon, adventurers like John Wesley Powell, scientists like E.O. Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

The lecture portion will cover three essential foundations: ecosystem patterns and process that govern the flow of energy and material resources, ongoing and emerging issues that affect these patterns and processes, and management approaches used to address these issues. Emphasis will be given to ecological restoration as a management approach to ecosystem recovery as a science and as a way of understanding and re-connecting people to the environment. The field portion will focus on comparisons of physical environments, biological assessment, and monitoring, and matters of scale in defining environmental problems and solutions. Students will become acquainted with current research and management approaches in the Adirondacks and other regions. (3 hour lecture, 3 hour lab).

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

This course also provides a historic look at the demographic pressure on renewable and non-renewable resources and demonstrates the need for management strategies. Management of both resource supply and demand is considered. Sustainable resource management methods are applied to specific resources including soil, water, minerals, forests, energy, and food. The inter-relationship and sustainability between natural and cultural resources are studied. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing. Completes General Education Requirements:WC-I, LAS.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

The semester will begin with the fundamentals in common musical concepts (basic notation, rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, texture, and form) and then survey the principal periods of Western Music (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern). The course will also examine the way in which popular music incorporates the techniques and forms of the composers of the past. Non-Western music, or 'World' Music, will be explored and discussed in order to emphasize the universality of musical expression. Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of multivariable calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the possibilities for problem solving when freed from the constraints of modeling with one independent variable. Approximating functions with Taylor and Fourier series, vectors, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, the differential, methods of calculating multiple integrals, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view. If time permits, line integrals, flux integrals, divergence and curl will be discussed. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 242 Calculus II Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

Topics will include supply and demand, pricing, investment evaluation, net revenue maximization, non-timber forest products and the emerging field of ecosystem service valuation. These topics will be explored through a variety of case studies, both domestic and international in scope. Emphasis will be placed on learning to construct strong, defensible, land-use arguments through the use of quantitative analysis. Prerequisites: ECN 200 Principles of Economics.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

Students will learn about the parameters that describe motion and the inter-relationships between motion and force that are embodied in Newton's laws. They will specifically study straight line motion, plane motion, rotation, equilibrium, and gravitation. Through this study, students will become familiar with the basic concepts that form the foundation of natural science. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab) Prerequisite: MAT 125 Algebra.

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

It is a broad and integrative field which includes theoretical and therapeutic dimensions exploring the cosmology of human consciousness as originating within the living communities of the Earth. Human health and wellness is understood as a function of living harmoniously as a member of the interconnected web of life. The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

Both traditional theories and approaches to treatment, and more recent developments will be included. Course will consider what injury and recovery can teach us about ?normal? mental/physical functioning and address the ethical issues of how the medical system and society treat patients with brain injuries.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

Cultural Anthropology provides students with an opportunity to explore and understand the diversity of human thought and behavior that characterize different cultures. Through the application of theoretical frameworks developed by anthropologists and the use of case studies from five continents, students will learn how we, in the Western world, can understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures and cultural expression found throughout the world today.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

Professionals involved in disaster operations and recovery include elected and appointed officials, city and county administrators, emergency managers, public works directors, building officials, community planners, emergency services personnel, and other allied professionals. Training and education in disaster operations is a critical first step towards ensuring successful disaster operations. Through the structured guidance of the FEMA- EMI students interested in public service, emergency fields, healthcare facilities, first response will gain a working knowledge of disaster preparedness, response and recovery.   Pre-requisite: DMR 101

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

The work in planning will become ?drafts? to modify and build on in the project phase. Students are expected to broaden their understanding and application of skills gained in courses leading up to the Capstone, such as literature review, research methods, study design, and effective communication of information. The result of this effort will be a completed, approved proposal, prepared according to the guidelines established for Capstone Projects. Each student will select a mentor who will serve as the student's supervisor for the project. (1 hour lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 General Biology I and MAT 210 Statistics LAS

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. (1 hour lecture and independent time). Prerequisites: SCI 461 Independent Capstone Proposal Development and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement. LAS

Students are given a biological or environmental issue and use a scientific approach to find a solution. Students must integrate relevant biological or environmental and social-cultural information to research a question, and develop either a management plan for a given landscape unit or produce a scientific report. Students will develop collaboration and team management skills through consensus building, planning, project execution and reporting. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

Professionals involved in disaster operations and recovery include elected and appointed officials, city and county administrators, emergency managers, public works directors, building officials, community planners, emergency services personnel, and other allied professionals. Training and education in disaster operations is a critical first step towards ensuring successful disaster operations. Through the structured guidance of the FEMA- EMI students interested in public service, emergency fields, healthcare facilities, first response will gain a working knowledge of disaster preparedness, response and recovery.   Pre-requisite: DMR 101

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

The work in planning will become ?drafts? to modify and build on in the project phase. Students are expected to broaden their understanding and application of skills gained in courses leading up to the Capstone, such as literature review, research methods, study design, and effective communication of information. The result of this effort will be a completed, approved proposal, prepared according to the guidelines established for Capstone Projects. Each student will select a mentor who will serve as the student's supervisor for the project. (1 hour lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 General Biology I and MAT 210 Statistics LAS

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. (1 hour lecture and independent time). Prerequisites: SCI 461 Independent Capstone Proposal Development and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement. LAS

Students are given a biological or environmental issue and use a scientific approach to find a solution. Students must integrate relevant biological or environmental and social-cultural information to research a question, and develop either a management plan for a given landscape unit or produce a scientific report. Students will develop collaboration and team management skills through consensus building, planning, project execution and reporting. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. Prerequisites: MAT 210 Statistics and (BIO 210 General Ecology or FOR 310 Forest Ecology) and Senior Status.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

The work in planning will become ?drafts? to modify and build on in the project phase. Students are expected to broaden their understanding and application of skills gained in courses leading up to the Capstone, such as literature review, research methods, study design, and effective communication of information. The result of this effort will be a completed, approved proposal, prepared according to the guidelines established for Capstone Projects. Each student will select a mentor who will serve as the student's supervisor for the project. (1 hour lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 General Biology I and MAT 210 Statistics LAS

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. (1 hour lecture and independent time). Prerequisites: SCI 461 Independent Capstone Proposal Development and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement. LAS

Students are given a biological or environmental issue and use a scientific approach to find a solution. Students must integrate relevant biological or environmental and social-cultural information to research a question, and develop either a management plan for a given landscape unit or produce a scientific report. Students will develop collaboration and team management skills through consensus building, planning, project execution and reporting. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

In a comparative and evolutionary based approach, the course integrates across the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organ systems, and whole-animal levels of organization to understand the role that these processes play in everyday life. Appropriately, in our Adirondack environment, the course includes an additional focus on the physiological adaptations to life in extreme environments. The laboratory component provides hands-on experience exploring and evaluating the concepts discussed in lecture.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

Students will explore the basis (genetics to environmental) for animal behavior and be able to describe, quantify, and analyze animal behavior. Students will use Tinbergen's four why questions (development, causation, function and evolution) to explain animal behaviors such as foraging, reproductive, social and parental behaviors. Students should have a good understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis before taking Animal Behavior.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time.

In this information age we are deluged with large amounts of information. The process of technical communication involves, collecting, organizing and evaluating that information and then translating it into easily understood formats through a variety of media. Technical communication also involves writing to prescribed criteria such as grant applications, report specifications and other formats. Therefore this course requires consideration of research, visuals, format, audience-awareness, syntax, semantics, and most importantly, the ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

This course will investigate how individuals respond and react to change. Students will explore strategies to effectively and cooperatively address these concerns and by investigating and committing to skills and best practices associated with inspiring action, minimizing resistance, and gaining commitment. Specific focus will be given to models of change processes such as Appreciative Inquiry and Action Research which can leverage existing culture to prevent resistance and promote accountability.

Additionally, students will reflect on agreements that have forced the issues of the global market into political debate.

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Particular emphasis will be placed on wilderness encounters as seen in its classic, mostly American, environmental writers from the early republic to more recent times. Explorers like Meriweather Lewis, naturalists like William Bartram, poets like Henry David Thoreau, artists like John James Audubon, adventurers like John Wesley Powell, scientists like E.O. Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

The fiction, poetry, and non-fiction prose of our many peoples will be examined as they comment on the nature of the American story. Selections from Native American, Hispanic, African-American, Jewish and other traditions will be read and discussed along with the works of such traditional figures as Mark Twain, Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, and William Faulkner.

The lecture portion will cover three essential foundations: ecosystem patterns and process that govern the flow of energy and material resources, ongoing and emerging issues that affect these patterns and processes, and management approaches used to address these issues. Emphasis will be given to ecological restoration as a management approach to ecosystem recovery as a science and as a way of understanding and re-connecting people to the environment. The field portion will focus on comparisons of physical environments, biological assessment, and monitoring, and matters of scale in defining environmental problems and solutions.

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

The intention of this course is that by viewing and discussing significant motion pictures in a variety of genres and their artful manipulation of such tools as lighting, framing, movement, sound, and editing, students will develop a richer appreciation. Directing, acting, set design, story telling, and other elements of film production also will be discussed. The course culminates in a written critique of a contemporary film.

The semester will begin with the fundamentals in common musical concepts (basic notation, rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, texture, and form) and then survey the principal periods of Western Music (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern). The course will also examine the way in which popular music incorporates the techniques and forms of the composers of the past. Non-Western music, or 'World' Music, will be explored and discussed in order to emphasize the universality of musical expression. Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

Class discussion and reading will be centered on a selection of short literary readings from a variety of well-known Spanish authors. Selected review of key grammatical differences between Spanish and English will occur in the context of the study of Spanish literature. Also, the class will study lexical options in context (i.e., denotational vs. connotational, colloquial and dialectical, the dangers of false cognates, etc.). (3 hours lecture).

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of multivariable calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the possibilities for problem solving when freed from the constraints of modeling with one independent variable. Approximating functions with Taylor and Fourier series, vectors, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, the differential, methods of calculating multiple integrals, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view. If time permits, line integrals, flux integrals, divergence and curl will be discussed. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 242 Calculus II Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

The course will give the students an appreciation of how the bio-physical environment and human social systems can be made to work together through the planning process. Skills that will be developed include ecological analysis, cartography, and social science research methods. The course will examine case studies where different approaches to land use planning were used. It will look at the similarities and differences among the case studies, within the context of the goals, politics, economics and cultural differences. (3 hours lecture).

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

Students will learn about the parameters that describe motion and the inter-relationships between motion and force that are embodied in Newton's laws. They will specifically study straight line motion, plane motion, rotation, equilibrium, and gravitation. Through this study, students will become familiar with the basic concepts that form the foundation of natural science. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab) Prerequisite: MAT 125 Algebra.

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

It is a broad and integrative field which includes theoretical and therapeutic dimensions exploring the cosmology of human consciousness as originating within the living communities of the Earth. Human health and wellness is understood as a function of living harmoniously as a member of the interconnected web of life. The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

Both traditional theories and approaches to treatment, and more recent developments will be included. Course will consider what injury and recovery can teach us about ?normal? mental/physical functioning and address the ethical issues of how the medical system and society treat patients with brain injuries.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

World of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. It asks how this variety of peoples and regions differ from each other and from those of us in the ?West,? and how are they and we are similar to each other. It explores how all portions of the world influence and interact with one another, creating new and unique cultures, and changing our own lives here in North America.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

Cultural Anthropology provides students with an opportunity to explore and understand the diversity of human thought and behavior that characterize different cultures. Through the application of theoretical frameworks developed by anthropologists and the use of case studies from five continents, students will learn how we, in the Western world, can understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures and cultural expression found throughout the world today.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

In a comparative and evolutionary based approach, the course integrates across the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organ systems, and whole-animal levels of organization to understand the role that these processes play in everyday life. Appropriately, in our Adirondack environment, the course includes an additional focus on the physiological adaptations to life in extreme environments. The laboratory component provides hands-on experience exploring and evaluating the concepts discussed in lecture.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

Students will explore the basis (genetics to environmental) for animal behavior and be able to describe, quantify, and analyze animal behavior. Students will use Tinbergen's four why questions (development, causation, function and evolution) to explain animal behaviors such as foraging, reproductive, social and parental behaviors. Students should have a good understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis before taking Animal Behavior.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time.

In this information age we are deluged with large amounts of information. The process of technical communication involves, collecting, organizing and evaluating that information and then translating it into easily understood formats through a variety of media. Technical communication also involves writing to prescribed criteria such as grant applications, report specifications and other formats. Therefore this course requires consideration of research, visuals, format, audience-awareness, syntax, semantics, and most importantly, the ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

This course will investigate how individuals respond and react to change. Students will explore strategies to effectively and cooperatively address these concerns and by investigating and committing to skills and best practices associated with inspiring action, minimizing resistance, and gaining commitment. Specific focus will be given to models of change processes such as Appreciative Inquiry and Action Research which can leverage existing culture to prevent resistance and promote accountability.

Additionally, students will reflect on agreements that have forced the issues of the global market into political debate.

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Particular emphasis will be placed on wilderness encounters as seen in its classic, mostly American, environmental writers from the early republic to more recent times. Explorers like Meriweather Lewis, naturalists like William Bartram, poets like Henry David Thoreau, artists like John James Audubon, adventurers like John Wesley Powell, scientists like E.O. Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

The fiction, poetry, and non-fiction prose of our many peoples will be examined as they comment on the nature of the American story. Selections from Native American, Hispanic, African-American, Jewish and other traditions will be read and discussed along with the works of such traditional figures as Mark Twain, Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, and William Faulkner.

The lecture portion will cover three essential foundations: ecosystem patterns and process that govern the flow of energy and material resources, ongoing and emerging issues that affect these patterns and processes, and management approaches used to address these issues. Emphasis will be given to ecological restoration as a management approach to ecosystem recovery as a science and as a way of understanding and re-connecting people to the environment. The field portion will focus on comparisons of physical environments, biological assessment, and monitoring, and matters of scale in defining environmental problems and solutions.

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year. The other major focus of this course is learning the skills of critical reading and analysis of book-length sources, and communicating these analyses in both oral and written forms.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

The intention of this course is that by viewing and discussing significant motion pictures in a variety of genres and their artful manipulation of such tools as lighting, framing, movement, sound, and editing, students will develop a richer appreciation. Directing, acting, set design, story telling, and other elements of film production also will be discussed. The course culminates in a written critique of a contemporary film.

The semester will begin with the fundamentals in common musical concepts (basic notation, rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, texture, and form) and then survey the principal periods of Western Music (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern). The course will also examine the way in which popular music incorporates the techniques and forms of the composers of the past. Non-Western music, or 'World' Music, will be explored and discussed in order to emphasize the universality of musical expression. Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

Class discussion and reading will be centered on a selection of short literary readings from a variety of well-known Spanish authors. Selected review of key grammatical differences between Spanish and English will occur in the context of the study of Spanish literature. Also, the class will study lexical options in context (i.e., denotational vs. connotational, colloquial and dialectical, the dangers of false cognates, etc.). (3 hours lecture).

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of multivariable calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the possibilities for problem solving when freed from the constraints of modeling with one independent variable. Approximating functions with Taylor and Fourier series, vectors, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, the differential, methods of calculating multiple integrals, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view. If time permits, line integrals, flux integrals, divergence and curl will be discussed. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 242 Calculus II Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

The course will give the students an appreciation of how the bio-physical environment and human social systems can be made to work together through the planning process. Skills that will be developed include ecological analysis, cartography, and social science research methods. The course will examine case studies where different approaches to land use planning were used. It will look at the similarities and differences among the case studies, within the context of the goals, politics, economics and cultural differences. (3 hours lecture).

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

Students will learn about the parameters that describe motion and the inter-relationships between motion and force that are embodied in Newton's laws. They will specifically study straight line motion, plane motion, rotation, equilibrium, and gravitation. Through this study, students will become familiar with the basic concepts that form the foundation of natural science. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab) Prerequisite: MAT 125 Algebra.

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

It is a broad and integrative field which includes theoretical and therapeutic dimensions exploring the cosmology of human consciousness as originating within the living communities of the Earth. Human health and wellness is understood as a function of living harmoniously as a member of the interconnected web of life. The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

Both traditional theories and approaches to treatment, and more recent developments will be included. Course will consider what injury and recovery can teach us about ?normal? mental/physical functioning and address the ethical issues of how the medical system and society treat patients with brain injuries.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

World of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. It asks how this variety of peoples and regions differ from each other and from those of us in the ?West,? and how are they and we are similar to each other. It explores how all portions of the world influence and interact with one another, creating new and unique cultures, and changing our own lives here in North America.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

Cultural Anthropology provides students with an opportunity to explore and understand the diversity of human thought and behavior that characterize different cultures. Through the application of theoretical frameworks developed by anthropologists and the use of case studies from five continents, students will learn how we, in the Western world, can understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures and cultural expression found throughout the world today.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Students will analyze trends and current problems using graphs, spreadsheets, internet resources, and financial equations. Students will develop an Investment Portfolio and write a report on the semester long investigation they conduct on the investing world. Their report will be research based and they will use their own portfolio as an example of the topics they study. Concepts involving algebraic manipulations of equations, exponential equations, and mathematical modeling with their applications to financial decision-making will be emphasized. Course topics will include time value of money, present value and future value, simple and compound interest, ordinary annuities, sinking funds, amortization, stocks and investments.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round.

Chefs and restaurants plan an important role in this transition as they feature ?new? local ingredients to customers and play an important role in educating customers on the Farm to Table movement. In this course, students will gain an understanding of our current food system, with a specific focus on distribution and consumption of local ingredients in commercial (restaurant and institutional) markets in the Adirondack/ North Country Region. Students will tour large and small scale farms to identify and discuss their farming methods, sustainable practices, and commercial markets for local products. Students will study new marketing and distribution methods for local foods and how restaurants and intuitional kitchens can adapt to serving and marketing local food year-round. Students will have opportunities to harvest and prepare local ingredients, preserve local foods, and develop and market value added products for resale. Examples include cheese, maple products, and fruit jams. Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

Professionals involved in disaster operations and recovery include elected and appointed officials, city and county administrators, emergency managers, public works directors, building officials, community planners, emergency services personnel, and other allied professionals.

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

The work in planning will become ?drafts? to modify and build on in the project phase. Students are expected to broaden their understanding and application of skills gained in courses leading up to the Capstone, such as literature review, research methods, study design, and effective communication of information. The result of this effort will be a completed, approved proposal, prepared according to the guidelines established for Capstone Projects. Each student will select a mentor who will serve as the student's supervisor for the project. (1 hour lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 General Biology I and MAT 210 Statistics LAS

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. (1 hour lecture and independent time). Prerequisites: SCI 461 Independent Capstone Proposal Development and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement. LAS

Students are given a biological or environmental issue and use a scientific approach to find a solution. Students must integrate relevant biological or environmental and social-cultural information to research a question, and develop either a management plan for a given landscape unit or produce a scientific report. Students will develop collaboration and team management skills through consensus building, planning, project execution and reporting. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. Prerequisites: MAT 210 Statistics and (BIO 210 General Ecology or FOR 310 Forest Ecology) and Senior Status.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

Professionals involved in disaster operations and recovery include elected and appointed officials, city and county administrators, emergency managers, public works directors, building officials, community planners, emergency services personnel, and other allied professionals. Training and education in disaster operations is a critical first step towards ensuring successful disaster operations. Through the structured guidance of the FEMA- EMI students interested in public service, emergency fields, healthcare facilities, first response will gain a working knowledge of disaster preparedness, response and recovery.   Pre-requisite: DMR 101

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability.

The work in planning will become ?drafts? to modify and build on in the project phase. Students are expected to broaden their understanding and application of skills gained in courses leading up to the Capstone, such as literature review, research methods, study design, and effective communication of information. The result of this effort will be a completed, approved proposal, prepared according to the guidelines established for Capstone Projects. Each student will select a mentor who will serve as the student's supervisor for the project. (1 hour lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 General Biology I and MAT 210 Statistics LAS

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. (1 hour lecture and independent time). Prerequisites: SCI 461 Independent Capstone Proposal Development and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement. LAS

Students are given a biological or environmental issue and use a scientific approach to find a solution. Students must integrate relevant biological or environmental and social-cultural information to research a question, and develop either a management plan for a given landscape unit or produce a scientific report. Students will develop collaboration and team management skills through consensus building, planning, project execution and reporting.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Program Coordinator. Verified work experience of one year prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's may be substituted for either option, providing that experience is comparable and applicable to the student's major (see Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is pass/fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct.

Importantly, the public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively manage the dissemination of public information at an incident. A brief overview of military resources in emergency management is also provided to consider U.S. military resources potentially available to assist civilian authorities in disaster response and recovery operations. The content areas of Incident Command Systems, National Incident Management Systems, Public Information Systems and Military Resources will be co-taught as on-line certification courses offered through the FEMA- Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and students will meet weekly for lecture.

Professionals involved in disaster operations and recovery include elected and appointed officials, city and county administrators, emergency managers, public works directors, building officials, community planners, emergency services personnel, and other allied professionals. Training and education in disaster operations is a critical first step towards ensuring successful disaster operations. Through the structured guidance of the FEMA- EMI students interested in public service, emergency fields, healthcare facilities, first response will gain a working knowledge of disaster preparedness, response and recovery.   Pre-requisite: DMR 101

State and federal agencies may have to work to contain damage to affected areas and minimize further damage. Involved parties may initiate a damage assessment. The responsible parties will identify both negative impacts to natural resources and lost uses resulting from the incident, and, with public input, determine best methods, amounts, and locations for restoration and recovery activities. This course provides information and resources that will enable students to plan an effective natural resource damage assessment program and conduct rapid and effective damage assessments in order to save lives, protect property and the environment, and begin the process of recovery and mitigation.  With the use of geospatial technology and physical site assessment tools, students will practice assessing, collecting, and reporting damages during and after any event that causes damage both the built and natural environment.

It applies scientific inquiry to assess communities and ecosystem process (i.e., site inventories) to define the extent of ecological damage, to aid in the design of implementation plans for ecological restoration (best management practices), and to evaluate and monitor the success of implementation plans. . In this course, students will learn how to integrate the science of restoration ecology into ecological restoration projects as well-designed?field studies, as field experiments, and as long-term ecological monitoring using community and ecosystem models. Community models will focus on community organization in space and time, disturbance regimes and succession, resilience, and legacy effects. Ecosystem models will focus on energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles. The relevance of restoration ecology in addressing landscape-scale disturbance and climate change will be studied as well.

The course introduces first year students to a seminar-format learning environment in which students and instructors create an academic dialog that connects students with essential ideas, people, and resources. This predominantly discussion based course engages students in the big questions that confront individuals and groups as they develop the insight, skills, and support systems they need to meet personal and professional goals. The overarching goals for the course include engaging students in the process of imagination and expression, developing personal and social responsibility, and creating awareness of interdependency and critical aspects of sustainability. Through reflective activities, readings and discussions students will develop decision making skills, oral and written skills and a personal action plan that will guide independent, confident, decision making toward achievement of life goals.

The work in planning will become ?drafts? to modify and build on in the project phase. Students are expected to broaden their understanding and application of skills gained in courses leading up to the Capstone, such as literature review, research methods, study design, and effective communication of information. The result of this effort will be a completed, approved proposal, prepared according to the guidelines established for Capstone Projects. Each student will select a mentor who will serve as the student's supervisor for the project. (1 hour lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 General Biology I and MAT 210 Statistics LAS

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during Independent Capstone Proposal Development (SCI 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course. (1 hour lecture and independent time). Prerequisites: SCI 461 Independent Capstone Proposal Development and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement. LAS

Students are given a biological or environmental issue and use a scientific approach to find a solution. Students must integrate relevant biological or environmental and social-cultural information to research a question, and develop either a management plan for a given landscape unit or produce a scientific report. Students will develop collaboration and team management skills through consensus building, planning, project execution and reporting. Students with less than 90 earned credits will need to complete a ?missing pre-requisite? form during pre-registration to register for this course.

Understanding the nature and difference between natural hazards and disasters allows the sustainability professional to prepare and plan remediation for such events. Risk assessment, even at the most basic level, can provide a means of reducing loss to vulnerable populations through socially equitable policy and planning. Rural communities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in the 21st century. From the effects of climate change to inadequate infrastructure to food insecurity, resiliency helps rural communities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges. This course will use an urban model as a template for building rural resilience holistically. Students will learn how interdependencies and risks that face communities effect disaster resilience planning. This course supports the Sustainability track goals.

Students will explore the changes over time in vertebrate anatomy in both different taxa and the evolution of major organ systems across taxa. Hands-on dissections during the class time will allow the students to better understand the evolution of vertebrate traits. Prerequisite: BIO 101 Biology I.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

In a comparative and evolutionary based approach, the course integrates across the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organ systems, and whole-animal levels of organization to understand the role that these processes play in everyday life. Appropriately, in our Adirondack environment, the course includes an additional focus on the physiological adaptations to life in extreme environments. The laboratory component provides hands-on experience exploring and evaluating the concepts discussed in lecture.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

Students will explore the basis (genetics to environmental) for animal behavior and be able to describe, quantify, and analyze animal behavior. Students will use Tinbergen's four why questions (development, causation, function and evolution) to explain animal behaviors such as foraging, reproductive, social and parental behaviors. Students should have a good understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis before taking Animal Behavior.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

In this information age we are deluged with large amounts of information. The process of technical communication involves, collecting, organizing and evaluating that information and then translating it into easily understood formats through a variety of media. Technical communication also involves writing to prescribed criteria such as grant applications, report specifications and other formats. Therefore this course requires consideration of research, visuals, format, audience-awareness, syntax, semantics, and most importantly, the ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

This course will evaluate recent paradigm shifts from isolationism to regionalized and global economics. Additionally, students will reflect on agreements that have forced the issues of the global market into political debate.

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course. Time or similar magazine and a polemical novel will be two of our texts. At semester's end students will prepare a lengthy written argument along with an oral presentation.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Particular emphasis will be placed on wilderness encounters as seen in its classic, mostly American, environmental writers from the early republic to more recent times. Explorers like Meriweather Lewis, naturalists like William Bartram, poets like Henry David Thoreau, artists like John James Audubon, adventurers like John Wesley Powell, scientists like E.O. Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

The fiction, poetry, and non-fiction prose of our many peoples will be examined as they comment on the nature of the American story. Selections from Native American, Hispanic, African-American, Jewish and other traditions will be read and discussed along with the works of such traditional figures as Mark Twain, Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, and William Faulkner.

The lecture portion will cover three essential foundations: ecosystem patterns and process that govern the flow of energy and material resources, ongoing and emerging issues that affect these patterns and processes, and management approaches used to address these issues. Emphasis will be given to ecological restoration as a management approach to ecosystem recovery as a science and as a way of understanding and re-connecting people to the environment. The field portion will focus on comparisons of physical environments, biological assessment, and monitoring, and matters of scale in defining environmental problems and solutions. Students will become acquainted with current research and management approaches in the Adirondacks and other regions. (3 hour lecture, 3 hour lab).

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

It views the physical landscape as consisting of landforms, climates, and biomes, and provides students with an opportunity to understand the interactions among them. All three features of the landscape are presented as evolving over time; consequently, students will be introduced to dynamic processes associated with geomorphology, meteorology and climatology, and ecology.

The intention of this course is that by viewing and discussing significant motion pictures in a variety of genres and their artful manipulation of such tools as lighting, framing, movement, sound, and editing, students will develop a richer appreciation. Directing, acting, set design, story telling, and other elements of film production also will be discussed. The course culminates in a written critique of a contemporary film.

The semester will begin with the fundamentals in common musical concepts (basic notation, rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, texture, and form) and then survey the principal periods of Western Music (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern). The course will also examine the way in which popular music incorporates the techniques and forms of the composers of the past. Non-Western music, or 'World' Music, will be explored and discussed in order to emphasize the universality of musical expression. Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

Class discussion and reading will be centered on a selection of short literary readings from a variety of well-known Spanish authors. Selected review of key grammatical differences between Spanish and English will occur in the context of the study of Spanish literature.

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of integral calculus and to introduce differential equations. By focusing on the ideas behind solving the problems, the student will be able to solve a broad range of problems. Definite and indefinite integrals and first-order separable differential equations and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view.

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of multivariable calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the possibilities for problem solving when freed from the constraints of modeling with one independent variable. Approximating functions with Taylor and Fourier series, vectors, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, the differential, methods of calculating multiple integrals, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view. If time permits, line integrals, flux integrals, divergence and curl will be discussed. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 242 Calculus II Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

The course will give the students an appreciation of how the bio-physical environment and human social systems can be made to work together through the planning process. Skills that will be developed include ecological analysis, cartography, and social science research methods. The course will examine case studies where different approaches to land use planning were used. It will look at the similarities and differences among the case studies, within the context of the goals, politics, economics and cultural differences. (3 hours lecture).

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

It is a broad and integrative field which includes theoretical and therapeutic dimensions exploring the cosmology of human consciousness as originating within the living communities of the Earth. Human health and wellness is understood as a function of living harmoniously as a member of the interconnected web of life. The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

Both traditional theories and approaches to treatment, and more recent developments will be included. Course will consider what injury and recovery can teach us about ?normal? mental/physical functioning and address the ethical issues of how the medical system and society treat patients with brain injuries.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically.

Cultural Anthropology provides students with an opportunity to explore and understand the diversity of human thought and behavior that characterize different cultures. Through the application of theoretical frameworks developed by anthropologists and the use of case studies from five continents, students will learn how we, in the Western world, can understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures and cultural expression found throughout the world today.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The project provides a representative sample of student work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work to complete an applied research project developed during the Forestry Capstone Planning Seminar. Examples of projects include: forest stewardship plans, ecological research studies, and timber harvest plans with implementation. Students will work alone under the supervision of a mentor toward the established standards for successful completion of the Forestry Capstone Project. Students are required to prepare a substantial written report demonstrating the students? project focus as well as the integration of their work. Students are also required to prepare an oral presentation (1 hour lecture plus significant outside of class work). Prerequisites: FOR 461: Forestry Capstone Project Planning Seminar and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement.

Students are given a natural resource problem or environmental issue and use an INRM approach to find a solution. Students must integrate relevant environmental and social-cultural information to assess the problem, and develop either a management plan for a given landscape unit or watershed, or produce a scientific report with management implications or recommendations. Other outcomes include presentations in an open forum. Students will have the opportunity to develop collaboration and team management skills through consensus building, planning, project execution and reporting. Capstone Course.

It will investigate how the public expresses their needs, how the park board prioritizes the public need, and how various administrations provide the funds to build and maintain the parks. It will analyze how design minimizes vandalism, discourages undesirable activities, reduces conflict between vehicles and pedestrians and allows the park to be available to those with disabilities. The course will explore various methods of demonstrating design, both visually and orally. The course will communicate new material and utilize previous knowledge gained in other related courses. This is a Capstone course. Prerequisite: PRK 475 Park and Recreation Design.

It provides a representative sample of student work that may be used to assess student learning. The Group Project enables a class of students to investigate a topic of interest determined during Research Methods in Psychology. Students will work in small groups, and as individuals, toward the completion of the overall class goal. Students are required to prepare a substantial written report describing the project, as well as the integration of their work, and an oral presentation for their group. Alternatively, students may work independently on their projects developed during Research Methods in Psychology, under the supervision of the instructor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, that include a substantial written report and an oral presentation.

Students will discuss and apply philosophical and ethical values as they assess recreation program decision making and effectiveness in consideration of current theoretical and applied issues in the recreation professions. In the applied element of the course, students will develop a research-based solution to a specific recreation concern or opportunity at the campus visitor interpretive center that requires the application of these principles. Students must integrate ecological and social-cultural information relevant to the interpretive center?s concerns and opportunities and ultimately develop a program provision and management plan designed to meet the programmatic goals defined by interpretive center?s administrative team. Working collaboratively, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate team management, consensus building, planning, and reporting. Students will also define a philosophical statement that articulates career goals and action plan.

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during the Capstone Project Planning Seminar (SOC 461), under the supervision of a mentor.

Students will examine the ecological, cultural, and social dimensions of a specific community or region, focusing on sustainability issues such as food security, renewable energy, conservation, sense of place, lost arts/creative arts, cultural traditions, narratives, and community resiliency. The instructor will provide an overarching research question; however, students will develop their own sub-questions that will serve as the basis for independent inquiry. Once students have completed their independent inquiry, they will work as a group to link and synthesize their findings as applied to the original research question or issue. Capstone.

Students will explore the changes over time in vertebrate anatomy in both different taxa and the evolution of major organ systems across taxa. Hands-on dissections during the class time will allow the students to better understand the evolution of vertebrate traits. Prerequisite: BIO 101 Biology I.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

In a comparative and evolutionary based approach, the course integrates across the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organ systems, and whole-animal levels of organization to understand the role that these processes play in everyday life. Appropriately, in our Adirondack environment, the course includes an additional focus on the physiological adaptations to life in extreme environments. The laboratory component provides hands-on experience exploring and evaluating the concepts discussed in lecture.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

Students will explore the basis (genetics to environmental) for animal behavior and be able to describe, quantify, and analyze animal behavior. Students will use Tinbergen's four why questions (development, causation, function and evolution) to explain animal behaviors such as foraging, reproductive, social and parental behaviors. Students should have a good understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis before taking Animal Behavior.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

In this information age we are deluged with large amounts of information. The process of technical communication involves, collecting, organizing and evaluating that information and then translating it into easily understood formats through a variety of media. Technical communication also involves writing to prescribed criteria such as grant applications, report specifications and other formats. Therefore this course requires consideration of research, visuals, format, audience-awareness, syntax, semantics, and most importantly, the ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

This course will evaluate recent paradigm shifts from isolationism to regionalized and global economics. Additionally, students will reflect on agreements that have forced the issues of the global market into political debate.

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course. Time or similar magazine and a polemical novel will be two of our texts. At semester's end students will prepare a lengthy written argument along with an oral presentation.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Particular emphasis will be placed on wilderness encounters as seen in its classic, mostly American, environmental writers from the early republic to more recent times. Explorers like Meriweather Lewis, naturalists like William Bartram, poets like Henry David Thoreau, artists like John James Audubon, adventurers like John Wesley Powell, scientists like E.O. Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

The fiction, poetry, and non-fiction prose of our many peoples will be examined as they comment on the nature of the American story. Selections from Native American, Hispanic, African-American, Jewish and other traditions will be read and discussed along with the works of such traditional figures as Mark Twain, Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, and William Faulkner.

The lecture portion will cover three essential foundations: ecosystem patterns and process that govern the flow of energy and material resources, ongoing and emerging issues that affect these patterns and processes, and management approaches used to address these issues. Emphasis will be given to ecological restoration as a management approach to ecosystem recovery as a science and as a way of understanding and re-connecting people to the environment. The field portion will focus on comparisons of physical environments, biological assessment, and monitoring, and matters of scale in defining environmental problems and solutions. Students will become acquainted with current research and management approaches in the Adirondacks and other regions. (3 hour lecture, 3 hour lab).

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

It views the physical landscape as consisting of landforms, climates, and biomes, and provides students with an opportunity to understand the interactions among them. All three features of the landscape are presented as evolving over time; consequently, students will be introduced to dynamic processes associated with geomorphology, meteorology and climatology, and ecology.

The intention of this course is that by viewing and discussing significant motion pictures in a variety of genres and their artful manipulation of such tools as lighting, framing, movement, sound, and editing, students will develop a richer appreciation. Directing, acting, set design, story telling, and other elements of film production also will be discussed. The course culminates in a written critique of a contemporary film.

The semester will begin with the fundamentals in common musical concepts (basic notation, rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, texture, and form) and then survey the principal periods of Western Music (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern). The course will also examine the way in which popular music incorporates the techniques and forms of the composers of the past. Non-Western music, or 'World' Music, will be explored and discussed in order to emphasize the universality of musical expression. Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

Class discussion and reading will be centered on a selection of short literary readings from a variety of well-known Spanish authors. Selected review of key grammatical differences between Spanish and English will occur in the context of the study of Spanish literature.

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of integral calculus and to introduce differential equations. By focusing on the ideas behind solving the problems, the student will be able to solve a broad range of problems. Definite and indefinite integrals and first-order separable differential equations and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view.

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of multivariable calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the possibilities for problem solving when freed from the constraints of modeling with one independent variable. Approximating functions with Taylor and Fourier series, vectors, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, the differential, methods of calculating multiple integrals, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view. If time permits, line integrals, flux integrals, divergence and curl will be discussed. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 242 Calculus II Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

The course will give the students an appreciation of how the bio-physical environment and human social systems can be made to work together through the planning process. Skills that will be developed include ecological analysis, cartography, and social science research methods. The course will examine case studies where different approaches to land use planning were used. It will look at the similarities and differences among the case studies, within the context of the goals, politics, economics and cultural differences. (3 hours lecture).

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

It is a broad and integrative field which includes theoretical and therapeutic dimensions exploring the cosmology of human consciousness as originating within the living communities of the Earth. Human health and wellness is understood as a function of living harmoniously as a member of the interconnected web of life. The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

Both traditional theories and approaches to treatment, and more recent developments will be included. Course will consider what injury and recovery can teach us about ?normal? mental/physical functioning and address the ethical issues of how the medical system and society treat patients with brain injuries.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically.

Cultural Anthropology provides students with an opportunity to explore and understand the diversity of human thought and behavior that characterize different cultures. Through the application of theoretical frameworks developed by anthropologists and the use of case studies from five continents, students will learn how we, in the Western world, can understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures and cultural expression found throughout the world today.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Students will explore the changes over time in vertebrate anatomy in both different taxa and the evolution of major organ systems across taxa. Hands-on dissections during the class time will allow the students to better understand the evolution of vertebrate traits. Prerequisite: BIO 101 Biology I.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

In a comparative and evolutionary based approach, the course integrates across the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organ systems, and whole-animal levels of organization to understand the role that these processes play in everyday life. Appropriately, in our Adirondack environment, the course includes an additional focus on the physiological adaptations to life in extreme environments. The laboratory component provides hands-on experience exploring and evaluating the concepts discussed in lecture.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

Students will explore the basis (genetics to environmental) for animal behavior and be able to describe, quantify, and analyze animal behavior. Students will use Tinbergen's four why questions (development, causation, function and evolution) to explain animal behaviors such as foraging, reproductive, social and parental behaviors. Students should have a good understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis before taking Animal Behavior.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

In this information age we are deluged with large amounts of information. The process of technical communication involves, collecting, organizing and evaluating that information and then translating it into easily understood formats through a variety of media. Technical communication also involves writing to prescribed criteria such as grant applications, report specifications and other formats. Therefore this course requires consideration of research, visuals, format, audience-awareness, syntax, semantics, and most importantly, the ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

This course will evaluate recent paradigm shifts from isolationism to regionalized and global economics. Additionally, students will reflect on agreements that have forced the issues of the global market into political debate.

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course. Time or similar magazine and a polemical novel will be two of our texts. At semester's end students will prepare a lengthy written argument along with an oral presentation.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Particular emphasis will be placed on wilderness encounters as seen in its classic, mostly American, environmental writers from the early republic to more recent times. Explorers like Meriweather Lewis, naturalists like William Bartram, poets like Henry David Thoreau, artists like John James Audubon, adventurers like John Wesley Powell, scientists like E.O. Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

The fiction, poetry, and non-fiction prose of our many peoples will be examined as they comment on the nature of the American story. Selections from Native American, Hispanic, African-American, Jewish and other traditions will be read and discussed along with the works of such traditional figures as Mark Twain, Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, and William Faulkner.

The lecture portion will cover three essential foundations: ecosystem patterns and process that govern the flow of energy and material resources, ongoing and emerging issues that affect these patterns and processes, and management approaches used to address these issues. Emphasis will be given to ecological restoration as a management approach to ecosystem recovery as a science and as a way of understanding and re-connecting people to the environment. The field portion will focus on comparisons of physical environments, biological assessment, and monitoring, and matters of scale in defining environmental problems and solutions. Students will become acquainted with current research and management approaches in the Adirondacks and other regions. (3 hour lecture, 3 hour lab).

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

It views the physical landscape as consisting of landforms, climates, and biomes, and provides students with an opportunity to understand the interactions among them. All three features of the landscape are presented as evolving over time; consequently, students will be introduced to dynamic processes associated with geomorphology, meteorology and climatology, and ecology.

The intention of this course is that by viewing and discussing significant motion pictures in a variety of genres and their artful manipulation of such tools as lighting, framing, movement, sound, and editing, students will develop a richer appreciation. Directing, acting, set design, story telling, and other elements of film production also will be discussed. The course culminates in a written critique of a contemporary film.

The semester will begin with the fundamentals in common musical concepts (basic notation, rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, texture, and form) and then survey the principal periods of Western Music (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern). The course will also examine the way in which popular music incorporates the techniques and forms of the composers of the past. Non-Western music, or 'World' Music, will be explored and discussed in order to emphasize the universality of musical expression. Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

Class discussion and reading will be centered on a selection of short literary readings from a variety of well-known Spanish authors. Selected review of key grammatical differences between Spanish and English will occur in the context of the study of Spanish literature.

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of integral calculus and to introduce differential equations. By focusing on the ideas behind solving the problems, the student will be able to solve a broad range of problems. Definite and indefinite integrals and first-order separable differential equations and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view.

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of multivariable calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the possibilities for problem solving when freed from the constraints of modeling with one independent variable. Approximating functions with Taylor and Fourier series, vectors, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, the differential, methods of calculating multiple integrals, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view. If time permits, line integrals, flux integrals, divergence and curl will be discussed. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 242 Calculus II Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

The course will give the students an appreciation of how the bio-physical environment and human social systems can be made to work together through the planning process. Skills that will be developed include ecological analysis, cartography, and social science research methods. The course will examine case studies where different approaches to land use planning were used. It will look at the similarities and differences among the case studies, within the context of the goals, politics, economics and cultural differences. (3 hours lecture).

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

It is a broad and integrative field which includes theoretical and therapeutic dimensions exploring the cosmology of human consciousness as originating within the living communities of the Earth. Human health and wellness is understood as a function of living harmoniously as a member of the interconnected web of life. The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

Both traditional theories and approaches to treatment, and more recent developments will be included. Course will consider what injury and recovery can teach us about ?normal? mental/physical functioning and address the ethical issues of how the medical system and society treat patients with brain injuries.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically.

Cultural Anthropology provides students with an opportunity to explore and understand the diversity of human thought and behavior that characterize different cultures. Through the application of theoretical frameworks developed by anthropologists and the use of case studies from five continents, students will learn how we, in the Western world, can understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures and cultural expression found throughout the world today.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The project provides a representative sample of student work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work to complete an applied research project developed during the Forestry Capstone Planning Seminar. Examples of projects include: forest stewardship plans, ecological research studies, and timber harvest plans with implementation. Students will work alone under the supervision of a mentor toward the established standards for successful completion of the Forestry Capstone Project. Students are required to prepare a substantial written report demonstrating the students? project focus as well as the integration of their work. Students are also required to prepare an oral presentation (1 hour lecture plus significant outside of class work). Prerequisites: FOR 461: Forestry Capstone Project Planning Seminar and Senior standing. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement.

Students are given a natural resource problem or environmental issue and use an INRM approach to find a solution. Students must integrate relevant environmental and social-cultural information to assess the problem, and develop either a management plan for a given landscape unit or watershed, or produce a scientific report with management implications or recommendations. Other outcomes include presentations in an open forum. Students will have the opportunity to develop collaboration and team management skills through consensus building, planning, project execution and reporting. Capstone Course.

It will investigate how the public expresses their needs, how the park board prioritizes the public need, and how various administrations provide the funds to build and maintain the parks. It will analyze how design minimizes vandalism, discourages undesirable activities, reduces conflict between vehicles and pedestrians and allows the park to be available to those with disabilities. The course will explore various methods of demonstrating design, both visually and orally. The course will communicate new material and utilize previous knowledge gained in other related courses. This is a Capstone course. Prerequisite: PRK 475 Park and Recreation Design.

It provides a representative sample of student work that may be used to assess student learning. The Group Project enables a class of students to investigate a topic of interest determined during Research Methods in Psychology. Students will work in small groups, and as individuals, toward the completion of the overall class goal. Students are required to prepare a substantial written report describing the project, as well as the integration of their work, and an oral presentation for their group. Alternatively, students may work independently on their projects developed during Research Methods in Psychology, under the supervision of the instructor.

Students will discuss and apply philosophical and ethical values as they assess recreation program decision making and effectiveness in consideration of current theoretical and applied issues in the recreation professions. In the applied element of the course, students will develop a research-based solution to a specific recreation concern or opportunity at the campus visitor interpretive center that requires the application of these principles. Students must integrate ecological and social-cultural information relevant to the interpretive center?s concerns and opportunities and ultimately develop a program provision and management plan designed to meet the programmatic goals defined by interpretive center?s administrative team. Working collaboratively, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate team management, consensus building, planning, and reporting. Students will also define a philosophical statement that articulates career goals and action plan.

Through the application of principles, theories and methods learned, students analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. The Project provides a representative sample of a student's work that may be used to assess student learning. Individually, students will work independently on their projects developed during the Capstone Project Planning Seminar (SOC 461), under the supervision of a mentor. Students are responsible for satisfying the established standards for successful completion of the Capstone Project, which include a substantial written report and an oral presentation. The course is offered fall and spring semesters and may be designated an honors course. (1 hour lecture and independent time). Prerequisites: SOC 461 Capstone Project Planning Seminar and Senior standing. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS. This course satisfies the Capstone requirement.

Students will examine the ecological, cultural, and social dimensions of a specific community or region, focusing on sustainability issues such as food security, renewable energy, conservation, sense of place, lost arts/creative arts, cultural traditions, narratives, and community resiliency. The instructor will provide an overarching research question; however, students will develop their own sub-questions that will serve as the basis for independent inquiry. Once students have completed their independent inquiry, they will work as a group to link and synthesize their findings as applied to the original research question or issue. Capstone.

Students will explore the changes over time in vertebrate anatomy in both different taxa and the evolution of major organ systems across taxa. Hands-on dissections during the class time will allow the students to better understand the evolution of vertebrate traits. Prerequisite: BIO 101 Biology I.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

In a comparative and evolutionary based approach, the course integrates across the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organ systems, and whole-animal levels of organization to understand the role that these processes play in everyday life. Appropriately, in our Adirondack environment, the course includes an additional focus on the physiological adaptations to life in extreme environments. The laboratory component provides hands-on experience exploring and evaluating the concepts discussed in lecture.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

The 14-day course is offered as a collaboration between Paul Smiths College, and Moscow State University at Zvenigorod Biological station. The study area is in temperate deciduous forest in Russia that experiences extreme winter conditions. We will learn to identify organisms and study the options that different taxa have for surviving the stresses of winter in terrestrial and aquatic environments. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food, lack of available water, and changes to the physical structure of snow over time as it impacts organisms living in the subnivean environment. Research projects and analysis and presentation are incorporated into the course. Students will learn with international students and be taught by both PSC and MSU faculty.

Evolutionarily, these diseases have played a significant role in shaping human populations. However, the increased incidence and expanding geographic range of these diseases is spurred largely by rapidly growing populations, human mobility, anthropogenic changes to the environment, technology and industry, and changing interactions between humans and other animals. Several global initiatives, such as the One Health Initiative, recognize that human health is inextricably linked with health of animals and the environment. This course will focus on zoonotic diseases of current concern, such as Lyme disease, Zika virus, HIV, yellow fever and malaria, to explore the biology of parasitism, the role of reservoirs and vectors, immunology, disease pathology, and environmental factors affecting transmission and disease spread.

Students will explore the basis (genetics to environmental) for animal behavior and be able to describe, quantify, and analyze animal behavior. Students will use Tinbergen's four why questions (development, causation, function and evolution) to explain animal behaviors such as foraging, reproductive, social and parental behaviors. Students should have a good understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis before taking Animal Behavior.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

In this information age we are deluged with large amounts of information. The process of technical communication involves, collecting, organizing and evaluating that information and then translating it into easily understood formats through a variety of media. Technical communication also involves writing to prescribed criteria such as grant applications, report specifications and other formats. Therefore this course requires consideration of research, visuals, format, audience-awareness, syntax, semantics, and most importantly, the ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.

This course will evaluate recent paradigm shifts from isolationism to regionalized and global economics. Additionally, students will reflect on agreements that have forced the issues of the global market into political debate.

Advancement in one's career similarly depends upon critical thinking and eloquent advancement of one's ideas. In this course we will study classical and modern techniques of argument and persuasion and methods logical and illogical others use to influence our behavior. Class discussion of current issues will result in essays aimed at developing student argumentative and persuasive skills. Posters, advertising, video, and class debate may also be part of the course. Time or similar magazine and a polemical novel will be two of our texts. At semester's end students will prepare a lengthy written argument along with an oral presentation.

Concise recipes and persuasive menus, for example, are tools for communication between the culinary professional and the consumer. In this course, students will build on the writing skills acquired at the foundation level while enhancing their knowledge of food. Students will compare and analyze the writing styles found in recipes, menus, essays, newspaper reviews, poetry, food in fiction, journal articles and internet blogs. Through this analysis students will develop their own preferences for expressing a point of view about food in these formats. Students will be expected to develop a culinary-based research project, a personal memoir enriched with recipes, and to participate in class discussions, critiques and formal presentations of projects.

Particular emphasis will be placed on wilderness encounters as seen in its classic, mostly American, environmental writers from the early republic to more recent times. Explorers like Meriweather Lewis, naturalists like William Bartram, poets like Henry David Thoreau, artists like John James Audubon, adventurers like John Wesley Powell, scientists like E.O. Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

The fiction, poetry, and non-fiction prose of our many peoples will be examined as they comment on the nature of the American story. Selections from Native American, Hispanic, African-American, Jewish and other traditions will be read and discussed along with the works of such traditional figures as Mark Twain, Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, and William Faulkner.

The lecture portion will cover three essential foundations: ecosystem patterns and process that govern the flow of energy and material resources, ongoing and emerging issues that affect these patterns and processes, and management approaches used to address these issues. Emphasis will be given to ecological restoration as a management approach to ecosystem recovery as a science and as a way of understanding and re-connecting people to the environment. The field portion will focus on comparisons of physical environments, biological assessment, and monitoring, and matters of scale in defining environmental problems and solutions. Students will become acquainted with current research and management approaches in the Adirondacks and other regions. (3 hour lecture, 3 hour lab).

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

It views the physical landscape as consisting of landforms, climates, and biomes, and provides students with an opportunity to understand the interactions among them. All three features of the landscape are presented as evolving over time; consequently, students will be introduced to dynamic processes associated with geomorphology, meteorology and climatology, and ecology.

The intention of this course is that by viewing and discussing significant motion pictures in a variety of genres and their artful manipulation of such tools as lighting, framing, movement, sound, and editing, students will develop a richer appreciation. Directing, acting, set design, story telling, and other elements of film production also will be discussed. The course culminates in a written critique of a contemporary film.

The semester will begin with the fundamentals in common musical concepts (basic notation, rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, texture, and form) and then survey the principal periods of Western Music (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern). The course will also examine the way in which popular music incorporates the techniques and forms of the composers of the past. Non-Western music, or 'World' Music, will be explored and discussed in order to emphasize the universality of musical expression. Other styles, such as Post-modern Classical, the American Musical, Jazz, etc., will be explored as time permits. Previous musical training is not necessary. (3 hours lecture).

It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

Students? motives for entering into the fields of environmental conservation often originate from this same stirring, yet they may not recognize fully the nature of this stirring and its deeper implications for a satisfying career. Thus, this course is designed for students who wish to explore deeply this idea of an ecological conscience through the eyes of Aldo Leopold, evaluate the development of one?s own sense of an ecological conscience, and express in compelling personal essays the transformative experiences that have been foundational to their pursuit of a way of life and living in conservation and environmental protection. Reading and essay writing will provide the material for a rich, discussion-driven format. Students will develop skills in leading group discussion, and in writing clear and expressive essays. This work will be linked to long-term ecological reflections with participation in a reading at the end of the semester open to the college community. Prerequisites: WC-R, SC-R, RE-R.

Vocabulary expansion will also be a major objective as students practice the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing on an increasingly sophisticated level. To the extent possible, in-class discussion will be in Spanish. Readings will encompass a variety of literary genres such as essays, poetry, and short stories, with a major objective being to introduce students to such icons of Spanish culture as Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda. Reading and writing skills will be refined as students translate, write and respond to these readings. As well, through these and other course activities, such as the appropriate use of video and music, students will enrich their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

Class discussion and reading will be centered on a selection of short literary readings from a variety of well-known Spanish authors. Selected review of key grammatical differences between Spanish and English will occur in the context of the study of Spanish literature.

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of integral calculus and to introduce differential equations. By focusing on the ideas behind solving the problems, the student will be able to solve a broad range of problems. Definite and indefinite integrals and first-order separable differential equations and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view.

Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of multivariable calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the possibilities for problem solving when freed from the constraints of modeling with one independent variable. Approximating functions with Taylor and Fourier series, vectors, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, the differential, methods of calculating multiple integrals, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view. If time permits, line integrals, flux integrals, divergence and curl will be discussed. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: MAT 242 Calculus II Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

The course will give the students an appreciation of how the bio-physical environment and human social systems can be made to work together through the planning process. Skills that will be developed include ecological analysis, cartography, and social science research methods. The course will examine case studies where different approaches to land use planning were used. It will look at the similarities and differences among the case studies, within the context of the goals, politics, economics and cultural differences. (3 hours lecture).

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

It is a broad and integrative field which includes theoretical and therapeutic dimensions exploring the cosmology of human consciousness as originating within the living communities of the Earth. Human health and wellness is understood as a function of living harmoniously as a member of the interconnected web of life. The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

Both traditional theories and approaches to treatment, and more recent developments will be included. Course will consider what injury and recovery can teach us about ?normal? mental/physical functioning and address the ethical issues of how the medical system and society treat patients with brain injuries.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically.

Cultural Anthropology provides students with an opportunity to explore and understand the diversity of human thought and behavior that characterize different cultures. Through the application of theoretical frameworks developed by anthropologists and the use of case studies from five continents, students will learn how we, in the Western world, can understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures and cultural expression found throughout the world today.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Its relevance persists in modern times. This course retraces the history of bread from ancient Egypt to modern times and travels through classical breads such as the Italian Ciabatta and the French Baguette. In this course students will be introduced to yeast fermentation, straight dough, sponge method, ten steps of bread baking, loaf shapes, proper scoring, lean dough and hearth bread, flat bread, soft crust bread, rich bread, pre-ferments and sourdough starters. Students will apply baking techniques and math acquired in the co-requisite baking essentials course. Students will practice classic and modern methods applied to bread making while being exposed to crucial principles of safe food handling and sanitation.

One of the purposes of this course is to review the history of these now-classic cakes and pastries, to re-connect them with their country of origin, and to discover or rediscover the cultures of these countries through their pastries. This course is also a way for students to understand many of the cultural values and traditions of European nations. The students will practice new techniques and methods and continue to build and apply their skills in this specific baking area including crucial principles of safe food handling and sanitation.

Each country has its way to seduce a palate with a dessert. Using local and imported ingredients, and influenced by religion, culture and conquests, the creativity of the human mind has come up with an amazing diversity of desserts. In this course the students will reproduce a selection of desserts from around the world. One of the purposes of this course is to review the history of these pastries, to match them with their country of origin and to discover or rediscover the cultures of these countries through their desserts. This course is also a way for students to understand many of the cultural values and traditions of Asia, Africa and the Americas. A particular emphasis will be placed on how to adapt and present these desserts to the American public. The students will practice a diversity of techniques and methods.  Prerequisite: BAK 106 Baking Essentials.

It is an ancestral art using well proven techniques. Technology helps us to understand the chemistry behind these inherited practices. This course progresses through recipes and techniques from the middle ages when honey was the common sugar, to modern days where inverted sugar and glucose are part of our daily diets. Students will learn methods and procedures used in the production of classical confections such as nougat, lollypops, caramels, candies, etc. and techniques used in modern confectionary such as adding texturizers and applying molecular gastronomy methods. Jams, jellies and marmalades will be discussed in detail. Candies are also part of this course culminating with maple candies done using our own maple syrup.  Prerequisite: BAK 106 Baking Essentials

Each course is independent; however, they are all connected, representing the three aspects of the bakery retail business: sweet, savory and sales. In this course students will deepen their culinary skills as they develop recipes and produce savory items to be sold in the bakery. These items include sandwiches, soups, salads and dishes such as savory tarts, hand pies and comfort food suitable for a bakery retail shop. Using the data collected from sales, students will adjust recipes and production to maximize profit and minimize waste. Additional emphasis will be placed on students’ ability to work as members of a cohesive team and to communicate with students in the sales and sweet courses. Prerequisite: completion of 19 hours in major.

Each course is independent; however, they are all connected, representing the three aspects of the bakery retail business: sweet, savory and sales. In this course students will deepen their baking and pastry skills as they develop recipes and produce baked goods to be sold in the bakery. These items can be breads, cookies, tarts, eclairs, croissants or anything that is not savory but suitable for a bakery retail shop. Using the data collected from sales, students will adjust recipes and production to maximize profit and minimize waste. Additional emphasis will be placed on students’ ability to work as members of a cohesive team and to communicate with students in the sales and savory courses.  Prerequisite: completion of 19 hours in major.

The course will research the influence of original native cultures, US geography, regional natural resources, immigrant culture/cuisine and specific historical and cultural events on the kinds of foods Americans eat today. Through this experience students will be able to recognize the cultural influences in a typical modern American meal. A study in family genealogy will be introduced to discuss the makeup of the student?s family culinary background and gain a greater appreciation of the individual student?s own cultural heritage.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

Students will explore the basis (genetics to environmental) for animal behavior and be able to describe, quantify, and analyze animal behavior. Students will use Tinbergen's four why questions (development, causation, function and evolution) to explain animal behaviors such as foraging, reproductive, social and parental behaviors. Students should have a good understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis before taking Animal Behavior.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

Students will sign a contractual agreement with an externship site. The following options are available: 1) Competitive participation in one of the externships developed by the College; or 2) Independent externship in the industry secured by the student that meets the approval of the Dean. Verifiable full-time, work experience of one year or more in the culinary industry, prior to enrollment at Paul Smith's, may be substituted for either option one or two. (See Externship Verification Process section). Enrollment in either of the two options requires a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Grading is Pass/Fail based on completion of the contractual agreement with the externship property and adherence to their rules and regulations of employment as well as to Paul Smith's College rules of student conduct. Prerequisite: One full semester of course work in the Culinary AOS program.

The course will research the influence of original native cultures, US geography, regional natural resources, immigrant culture/cuisine and specific historical and cultural events on the kinds of foods Americans eat today. Through this experience students will be able to recognize the cultural influences in a typical modern American meal. A study in family genealogy will be introduced to discuss the makeup of the student?s family culinary background and gain a greater appreciation of the individual student?s own cultural heritage.

Through this experience students will acquire specific food operations skills while developing foundational knowledge for upper-division coursework. A restaurant manager often becomes the liaison between front- and back-of-the-house operations; therefore both sides of the house will be explored.

"Selling" an idea or product should be based on a clear understanding of the audience in terms of who they are, what they want, and how the proposed solution will meet those needs in a way that holds value for all stakeholders. This course will help the student develop interpersonal skills to build trust, shape meaningful dialogue, and form meaningful partnerships. The course will also focus on how to specifically analyze audience and market data to determine value and propose solutions that hold value for both the organization and the individual involved in the process.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

The lecture portion will cover three essential foundations: ecosystem patterns and process that govern the flow of energy and material resources, ongoing and emerging issues that affect these patterns and processes, and management approaches used to address these issues. Emphasis will be given to ecological restoration as a management approach to ecosystem recovery as a science and as a way of understanding and re-connecting people to the environment. The field portion will focus on comparisons of physical environments, biological assessment, and monitoring, and matters of scale in defining environmental problems and solutions. Students will become acquainted with current research and management approaches in the Adirondacks and other regions. (3 hour lecture, 3 hour lab).

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

It views the physical landscape as consisting of landforms, climates, and biomes, and provides students with an opportunity to understand the interactions among them. All three features of the landscape are presented as evolving over time; consequently, students will be introduced to dynamic processes associated with geomorphology, meteorology and climatology, and ecology.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

Particular emphasis will be placed on wilderness encounters as seen in its classic, mostly American, environmental writers from the early republic to more recent times. Explorers like Meriweather Lewis, naturalists like William Bartram, poets like Henry David Thoreau, artists like John James Audubon, adventurers like John Wesley Powell, scientists like E.O. Wilson, preservationists like John Muir, conservationists like Aldo Leopold, and philosophers like Thomas Merton will help the class dive into the issue that has always vexed us: how do we live rightly on this planet?

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

This course also provides a historic look at the demographic pressure on renewable and non-renewable resources and demonstrates the need for management strategies. Management of both resource supply and demand is considered. Sustainable resource management methods are applied to specific resources including soil, water, minerals, forests, energy, and food. The inter-relationship and sustainability between natural and cultural resources are studied. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing. Completes General Education Requirements:WC-I, LAS.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The course provides an overview of US environmental history in an effort to understand the interactions, interdependencies and changes implicit in the relationship between human culture and the environment. American history is characterized by the paradox of the bounty of the continent's vast natural resources and subsequent establishment of natural institutions, such as our National Park System, and the sweeping and often catastrophic ecological changes wrought on the landscape by the process of Manifest Destiny and industrialization. Environmental history combines political, social, ecological, artistic and literary forms to clarify how our culture's concept of the environment has changed over time.

Variations in political forms, economic status, cultural contexts, and the natural environment are all significant factors in shaping environmental politics and policy around the world. This course investigates these differences using the framework of political ecology and important recent books on environmental politics at various sites around the globe. Various regions and countries are examined through a critical and intensive reading of texts which focuses on these locations. The exact regions and countries vary from year to year.

Emphasis will be placed on identifying the major scientific and social drivers which have created the emergence of new paradigms in forestry. Policy and actual forestry practices will be examined concurrently to better understand how land-use decisions are made. The scope of this course will range from local forestry issues within the Adirondack Park, to global issues faced in the developing world which, strive to strike a balance between development and preservation. General topics will include historical land-use shifts, environmentalism, economic shifts, interagency conflict, conservation mechanisms, and cross-border forest policies.

General topic areas include Nature as Empirical Reality, Nature as Synonymous with Reason, Nature as Antithetical to Man, Nature as Moral Lawgiver, Nature as Aesthetic Norm, and Ecological Ideas. Discussion will draw on thinkers ranging from Aristotle, Tertullian, and Descartes to Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, and Frederick Turner. This philosophical component is complemented by readings and discussions of materials from the current press and recent publications. (3 hours lecture).

In turn, the influence of art on human perception of nature, especially as reflected in the conservationist movement, will be studied. Representative works in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, and video from earliest times to the contemporary period will be discussed. Human expression in landscape design and other manipulations of nature will also form part of the course. Many cultures, particularly Japanese and Native American, will be examined for their contributions to human appreciation of the natural world. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

Cultural Anthropology provides students with an opportunity to explore and understand the diversity of human thought and behavior that characterize different cultures. Through the application of theoretical frameworks developed by anthropologists and the use of case studies from five continents, students will learn how we, in the Western world, can understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures and cultural expression found throughout the world today.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items.

Often communities or groups of communities come together to form collaborative partnerships to address an issue, provide a service, or produce some kind of project. This course will provide students with both a conceptual framework and the practical skills for organizing effectively in and across communities. Different types of community organizations such as grassroots citizen action groups, non-profit social service agencies, issue coalitions, and government-sponsored councils will be explored. Concepts of organizing philosophy, advocacy strategies, decision making models, power-structures, institutional change, community control, diversity, and leadership will be considered.

Is it safe to breathe the air? This question is of primary concern to those concerned with human impacts on the environment. A mechanistic understanding of how environmental toxins exert their biologic effects is critical to determining exposure limits of human and wildlife populations. This course offers a unique approach to the study of cellular and molecular biology by exploring, in depth, the mechanisms of action of currently-relevant environmental toxins. Students will explore how cells and organisms adapt and respond to the presence of toxic substances, why certain organs and tissues are specifically targeted, histopathology of important target organs, and methods involved in toxicity testing.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

Topics related to microbial genetics will address natural genetic processes as well as genetic engineering. Issues concerned with the interactions of microorganisms and humans in the areas of biotechnology and applied industrial microbiology, as well as human systems that influence microbial diseases and their control will be addressed. Students will also study microbial interactions and adaptations, and the impact of the microorganisms in the environment. In the laboratory portion of the course, the students will learn basic techniques used to study microorganisms, and apply these skills to investigate some of their functions and interactions.

The lecture portion will cover three essential foundations: ecosystem patterns and process that govern the flow of energy and material resources, ongoing and emerging issues that affect these patterns and processes, and management approaches used to address these issues. Emphasis will be given to ecological restoration as a management approach to ecosystem recovery as a science and as a way of understanding and re-connecting people to the environment. The field portion will focus on comparisons of physical environments, biological assessment, and monitoring, and matters of scale in defining environmental problems and solutions. Students will become acquainted with current research and management approaches in the Adirondacks and other regions. (3 hour lecture, 3 hour lab).

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Advanced GIS Techniques is a continuation of Introduction to GIS (GIS 201) where students will learn new skills and refine skills previously acquired. Topics include data acquisition and automation, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), spatial analysis, cartographic modeling and output design. Software used during the course will include MS PowerPoint, ArcView, Spatial Analyst, and GPS Pathfinder. Students will be required to select a project that will focus on creating a database, using both Spatial Analyst and GPS, analyzing their own data, producing a high-quality map product, and presenting the findings in a public format.

The course provides students with the basic theory to understand how and why remote sensing works, followed by a survey of remotely sensed data such as point clouds and imagery obtained from various platforms and portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.  We will explore and obtain hands-on experience with how remotely sensed information can be used for applications such as land cover classification and wildfire mapping. Students will learn how to identify, obtain, process and interpret the appropriate remotely sensed data for various applications.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

The course has three major parts: The first part deals with land and timber appraising techniques. The time - value of money and investment decision models are discussed along with forest taxation. The second part deals with traditional methods for regulating even- and uneven-aged forests, rotation determination and allowable cut calculations. The third part covers the more advanced topics such as linear programming for maximization, multiple use management practices (with an emphasis on recreation, wildlife, and water), appraisal of non-timber resources and the fundamentals for writing a forest management plan. Excel spreadsheets and the use of Geographic Information Systems for development of the students? forest management plans is strongly encouraged (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab).

Emphasis will be placed on identifying the major scientific and social drivers which have created the emergence of new paradigms in forestry. Policy and actual forestry practices will be examined concurrently to better understand how land-use decisions are made. The scope of this course will range from local forestry issues within the Adirondack Park, to global issues faced in the developing world which, strive to strike a balance between development and preservation. General topics will include historical land-use shifts, environmentalism, economic shifts, interagency conflict, conservation mechanisms, and cross-border forest policies.

The course is not, therefore, simply a more in-depth treatment of aspects of elementary silviculture, but rather a treatment of silviculture in a broader context. The course addresses innovative silvicultural practices, the relationships between silviculture and contemporary forestry issues, and the effects of silvicultural practices on forest values and uses. Regional and international silvicultural practices and issues are also discussed. In addition, the relationships between silviculture and non-timber forest management objectives, including aesthetics and non-timber forest products, are explored. Students will study and discuss the scientific literature in the field. Field trips and indoor lab periods will explore silvicultural practices in the northeastern US as well as provide the opportunity to conduct group research projects.

The focus of the course is in two major areas: (1) the ecological and biological principles underlying wildlife conservation, such as habitat, population dynamics, and animal behavior, and (2) the role of humans in wildlife conservation, including both the effects of wildlife exploitation and the effects of various restoration and management practices. The major emphasis of the course is on, but not completely limited to, terrestrial vertebrate animals. Students who received credit for FWS 101 may not receive credit for FWS 105. (3 hours lecture).

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

Students will explore the changes over time in vertebrate anatomy in both different taxa and the evolution of major organ systems across taxa. Hands-on dissections during the class time will allow the students to better understand the evolution of vertebrate traits. Prerequisite: BIO 101 Biology I.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

We examine topics such as acid rain, climate change, water pollution, fisheries and forest management, and extinction from all of these perspectives, tying together most of the major areas of study in our science-oriented programs. Human value systems and cultural histories are intimately involved, as illustrated by questions such as; Why are we "reclaiming" Adirondack lakes and should we keep doing so? Is modern human society unusually destructive of the environment, or have societies always been this way? Through activities in the classroom and field, students will have the opportunity to engage in coring techniques, basic sediment sampling, and microfossil analyses.

We will design and conduct experiments in winter ecology that test hypotheses we develop from theory that has resulted from other research. We will study the options that different groups of plants and animals have for dealing with the stresses of winter. We will focus on the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations to low temperatures, lack of food availability and lack of available water. We will examine the properties of snow and how the physical structure of snow changes over time. We will also explore the interaction between snow characteristics and those animals that face life in the cold. Prerequisites:BIO 102 Biology II and BIO 210 General Ecology and MAT 210 Statistics.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

The course has three major parts: The first part deals with land and timber appraising techniques. The time - value of money and investment decision models are discussed along with forest taxation. The second part deals with traditional methods for regulating even- and uneven-aged forests, rotation determination and allowable cut calculations. The third part covers the more advanced topics such as linear programming for maximization, multiple use management practices (with an emphasis on recreation, wildlife, and water), appraisal of non-timber resources and the fundamentals for writing a forest management plan. Excel spreadsheets and the use of Geographic Information Systems for development of the students? forest management plans is strongly encouraged (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab).

The course will cover theory and techniques of conservation law enforcement. This is accomplished through an introduction to criminal justice, law enforcement issues and techniques, the history of conservation law enforcement, current N. American and New York environmental laws and wildlife forensics. As communication skills are integral to conservation officers, students will be required to demonstrate written and verbal communication skills. Students will also be required to successfully complete or show proof of prior completion of a state approved hunter's education class to pass the course.

Students will gain experience using passive and active fish sampling gear, and learn basic approaches to assessing physical habitat and water quality. Standardized sampling as a basis for collecting scientifically-sound data and as a means to gather reliable data for long-term monitoring will be emphasized. Students will be introduced to statistical methods used to quantify population size, age and growth, recruitment and year-class strength, and mortality. Advanced topics will include diet analysis, linear growth modeling, bioenergetics modeling, and biotelemetry. In addition, students will explore methods used by the profession to gather information on human users of fisheries resources, which will include development and use creel surveys. Computer use will be a strong component in this course. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab).

A sponsoring supervisor in the organization provides a written work plan of the student?s activities before the externship begins. The student identifies a faculty mentor at PSC to approve the work plan. The student must secure approval from his/her mentor and advisor prior to registering for the externship. During the externship the student keeps a log. Upon completion of the externship, the student submits a written report and an oral presentation. The student?s supervisor suggests a grade to the faculty mentor who assigns a final pass/fail grade. See the Fisheries and Wildlife Externship Approval Form for more information. Credit hours will be determined based on the breadth and depth of the work experience. Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I and BIO 102 Biology II and GPA of 2.0 or above

In this class, students will become intimate with an understanding of the science foundation beneath fisheries management that can help humans make informed decisions. Students will 1) study the scientific approaches used to assess fish population and community dynamics, 2) review the components and managing limiting factors, and 3) learn the historic and contemporary roles of humans in traditional and emerging management approaches in fisheries protection, maintenance, and restoration. Class discussion of case histories will provide focal points for developing an understanding of the complexity of fisheries management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 210 General Ecology.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture).

Within the organization, the students will assist in the creation of interview questions for key personnel and review business standards and procedures to understand its current operations. The students will research industry trends, best practice methods, and key performance measures to report to team leaders, in order for the team to develop multiple alternatives or business scenarios for the organization to consider. A professional findings report, that discusses the selected solutions along with advantages and disadvantages of each, will be a major deliverable of the course. The course will culminate in the students orally presenting the findings to the organization?s management followed by a robust roundtable discussion.

Destinations are a mix of attractions and events, facilities, infrastructure, transportation, and hospitality resources that must be carefully planned for and marketed. This course looks at the tourism system through destination planning and development, marketing, demand factors influencing the market, and the characteristics of travel. A multidisciplinary approach will utilize principles, concepts and theories from psychology, economics, planning, and marketing that influence tourism. Those involved in tourism will see where they fit, who is affected by their actions, and how they are affected by the actions of other system participants. Numerous destinations will be analyzed, including the Adirondacks, and guest speakers from multiple levels of the tourism system will offer their perspectives on tourism and what it takes to create and maintain a successful destination.

Through this experience students will acquire specific food operations skills while developing foundational knowledge for upper-division coursework. A restaurant manager often becomes the liaison between front- and back-of-the-house operations; therefore both sides of the house will be explored. An analysis of the history and current state of the industry will serve as a foundation for helping students to acquire the necessary skills to ensure that guests receive excellent service. In this course students will be introduced to the objectives and requirements of the Industry Work Experience Internship.

Although there is a preponderance of "flag" brands throughout this country, the lifeblood of free enterprise is still the family operation. The blend of family values, family systems, and business operations can lead to a very challenging environment for ownership. The course will focus not only on the systems necessary to run a family business, but also on the psychological, human issues that inevitably arise. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing.

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

Students will develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are necessary for and influence plant acquisition of energy and allocation of that energy under different environmental scenarios/conditions. This understanding will be demonstrated through their ability to describe plant physiological concepts in their own terms, link concepts with others, and use that information to draw conclusions and perhaps predict or hypothesize about novel scientific problems in the field.

The lecture portion will cover three essential foundations: ecosystem patterns and process that govern the flow of energy and material resources, ongoing and emerging issues that affect these patterns and processes, and management approaches used to address these issues. Emphasis will be given to ecological restoration as a management approach to ecosystem recovery as a science and as a way of understanding and re-connecting people to the environment. The field portion will focus on comparisons of physical environments, biological assessment, and monitoring, and matters of scale in defining environmental problems and solutions. Students will become acquainted with current research and management approaches in the Adirondacks and other regions. (3 hour lecture, 3 hour lab).

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

This course also provides a historic look at the demographic pressure on renewable and non-renewable resources and demonstrates the need for management strategies. Management of both resource supply and demand is considered. Sustainable resource management methods are applied to specific resources including soil, water, minerals, forests, energy, and food. The inter-relationship and sustainability between natural and cultural resources are studied. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Junior standing. Completes General Education Requirements:WC-I, LAS.

Variables at several spatial and temporal scales will be hierarchically linked to the physical, chemical and biological attributes of stream environments. Conceptual models will be used to describe constraints that large-scale geomorphic patterns and processes place upon small-scale patterns and processes as related to primary production, invertebrates and vertebrates. The rationale behind watershed-based approaches and methodologies to assessment and monitoring of stream ecosystems will be explored. Students will learn how to design a watershed assessment and monitoring project which links land uses with monitoring data. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

Emphasis will be placed on identifying the major scientific and social drivers which have created the emergence of new paradigms in forestry. Policy and actual forestry practices will be examined concurrently to better understand how land-use decisions are made. The scope of this course will range from local forestry issues within the Adirondack Park, to global issues faced in the developing world which, strive to strike a balance between development and preservation. General topics will include historical land-use shifts, environmentalism, economic shifts, interagency conflict, conservation mechanisms, and cross-border forest policies.

Its purpose is to create the awareness that management of fisheries and wildlife resources is firmly steeped in the biological sciences. The basic science behind managing populations of birds, mammals, and fish will be explored (data collection, analyses, presentation). Furthermore, the student will be exposed to reality of the roles that communication, human dimensions, and policy play in fisheries and wildlife management. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab).

The focus of the course is in two major areas: (1) the ecological and biological principles underlying wildlife conservation, such as habitat, population dynamics, and animal behavior, and (2) the role of humans in wildlife conservation, including both the effects of wildlife exploitation and the effects of various restoration and management practices. The major emphasis of the course is on, but not completely limited to, terrestrial vertebrate animals. Students who received credit for FWS 101 may not receive credit for FWS 105. (3 hours lecture).

Students will gain experience using passive and active fish sampling gear, and learn basic approaches to assessing physical habitat and water quality. Standardized sampling as a basis for collecting scientifically-sound data and as a means to gather reliable data for long-term monitoring will be emphasized. Students will be introduced to statistical methods used to quantify population size, age and growth, recruitment and year-class strength, and mortality. Advanced topics will include diet analysis, linear growth modeling, bioenergetics modeling, and biotelemetry. In addition, students will explore methods used by the profession to gather information on human users of fisheries resources, which will include development and use creel surveys. Computer use will be a strong component in this course. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab).

In this class, students will become intimate with an understanding of the science foundation beneath fisheries management that can help humans make informed decisions. Students will 1) study the scientific approaches used to assess fish population and community dynamics, 2) review the components and managing limiting factors, and 3) learn the historic and contemporary roles of humans in traditional and emerging management approaches in fisheries protection, maintenance, and restoration. Class discussion of case histories will provide focal points for developing an understanding of the complexity of fisheries management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 210 General Ecology.

Advanced GIS Techniques is a continuation of Introduction to GIS (GIS 201) where students will learn new skills and refine skills previously acquired. Topics include data acquisition and automation, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), spatial analysis, cartographic modeling and output design. Software used during the course will include MS PowerPoint, ArcView, Spatial Analyst, and GPS Pathfinder. Students will be required to select a project that will focus on creating a database, using both Spatial Analyst and GPS, analyzing their own data, producing a high-quality map product, and presenting the findings in a public format.

The course provides students with the basic theory to understand how and why remote sensing works, followed by a survey of remotely sensed data such as point clouds and imagery obtained from various platforms and portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.  We will explore and obtain hands-on experience with how remotely sensed information can be used for applications such as land cover classification and wildfire mapping. Students will learn how to identify, obtain, process and interpret the appropriate remotely sensed data for various applications.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

We will evaluate the impact of human activities on our nations earth resources, fish, wildlife, endangered species, terrestrial biota, marine life, surface waters, ground waters, air, historic and cultural resources. This will allow us to explore the critical importance of restoring and maintaining environmental quality to the overall welfare and development of mankind. Finally, it will cover policies and procedures used by federal, state, and local governments to create and maintain conditions under which people and nature can exist in harmony.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

Emphasis will be placed on identifying the major scientific and social drivers which have created the emergence of new paradigms in forestry. Policy and actual forestry practices will be examined concurrently to better understand how land-use decisions are made. The scope of this course will range from local forestry issues within the Adirondack Park, to global issues faced in the developing world which, strive to strike a balance between development and preservation.

Properly functioning ecosystems are the foundation on which the long term viability of human economies is based. Watershed management focuses largely on water and manipulating ecosystem components to maintain or repair the functions of water. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: BIO 101 Biology I. Completes General Education Requirement:LAS.

Several basic questions that must be answered are: Who are the visitors? Where do they come from? In what activities do they participate? How long do they stay? This course first seeks to answer these types of questions by looking at user-group characteristics and participant profiles. The latter part of the course is then devoted to visitor management techniques. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: REC 105 Recreation and Leisure in the US.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

It sets modern psychology in a meaningful context examining how the discipline has developed from its early traditions through present-day schools of thought. Students will explore the fundamental question of ?nature versus nurture? in the development of the human mind. They will examine human perception, how it can differ from one culture to another, and the manner in which learning occurs. The course ties what we know about cognition, thought, and language and intelligence to the everyday lives of students. Thus, the classroom is viewed as a laboratory.

It is a broad and integrative field which includes theoretical and therapeutic dimensions exploring the cosmology of human consciousness as originating within the living communities of the Earth. Human health and wellness is understood as a function of living harmoniously as a member of the interconnected web of life. The practice of ecopsychology draws on the wisdom of natural systems theory, indigenous cultures, deep ecology, transpersonal studies and many others to address the growing ecological crisis. Other course topics to be covered are: biophilia, the ecological unconscious, nature deficit disorder, synergistic interplay of planetary and personal well-being, ecoactivism and ecotherapies.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

Cultural Anthropology provides students with an opportunity to explore and understand the diversity of human thought and behavior that characterize different cultures. Through the application of theoretical frameworks developed by anthropologists and the use of case studies from five continents, students will learn how we, in the Western world, can understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures and cultural expression found throughout the world today.

Such stereotypes impose upon men and women the expectations of society telling them how they should act, what they should desire, who they should strive to be, and how they should value themselves; those who don't conform are often conesored. Awareness of these issues should motivate students to incorporate different pointes of view into their own thinking and behavior, specifically to intervene when they hear others perpetuate biases, to advocate for continued parity, and to make informed personal decisions about how to live, work and vote.

Several basic questions that must be answered are: Who are the visitors? Where do they come from? In what activities do they participate? How long do they stay? This course first seeks to answer these types of questions by looking at user-group characteristics and participant profiles. The latter part of the course is then devoted to visitor management techniques. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: REC 105 Recreation and Leisure in the US.

Specifically, this course will examine the important role of wilderness guides and woodsmen in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. In addition to developing an appreciation for the history of the Adirondacks, students will be introduced to hard skills which were historically used by Adirondack woodsmen, and are today used by collegiate woodsmen and competitive lumberjacks. Examples of these skills include primitive fire-building, speed chopping, war canoe camping, axe throwing and birling.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

The goal is simple; to teach students safe, contemporary climbing fundamentals and to do so from a perspective that students may one day enter the field of professional guiding. The course will consist of six full day sessions, the majority of which will be held in the field. The final day will include a review of skills, followed by a practicum in which students will be asked to demonstrate a particular skill to the class (as if they were teaching the skill to a beginner). Numerous introductory hard skills such as knot tying, belaying, rappelling, climbing technique etc., will be taught as well as various concepts such as anchor construction theory, risk management procedures and Leave No Trace principles, to name a few. There is a course fee attached to this class. Prerequisite: REC 105 Recreation and Leisure in the US

This class will use campus resources to develop their adventure education facilitation skills, with a special focus on more complex frontloading and framing, the use of metaphors, and debriefing. The use of initiative games and challenge course elements will also be used to provide students with opportunities to learn about how such activities can be applied to adventure therapy programming.

Destinations will be selected for the variety of front-country and backcountry locations available to provide students with a diversity of adventure and/or ecotourism-based experiences. These experiences include a sampling of adventure activities, lodging facilities, travel means, and service providers. The first part of the course will involve adventure prioritization, resource and time management decisions as the students design their itinerary. During this trip, which will take place during the week-long mid-semester break, students will critically analyze their experiences through the lens of sustainable tourism to discuss and determine the degree to which each and every experience and venue is nature-based, conservation-minded, and beneficial to the cultures and economies of local communities. Once the students return to campus, this analysis will be used to evaluate the detailed itinerary drafted in the planning segment of the course to critically consider the planning elements of their trip and further develop their expedition planning skills. Students are obliged to practice principles of ?green? or sustainable nature-based tourism. This course entails an additional fee above tuition. There is a course fee associated with the course.

This five-week course typically conducted in the Adirondack State Park entails 5 days of on-campus pre-trip planning and preparation, 2 consecutive 2-week sessions involving canoeing and backpacking, and a concluding four-day student-planned expedition . The Outdoor Leadership Practicum offers students the opportunity to demonstrate leadership level judgment required to make and implement quality decisions while experiencing both mental and physical challenge. Students will travel in small groups in wilderness areas away from immediate medical assistance by canoe and foot. Students typically do multiple canoe portages, carry 40-75 pound backpacks, climb 4,000 foot peaks, and complete rigorous off-trail navigation exercises.

In the months prior to the winter camping trip, normally conducted in the January semester break, students will work collaboratively to plan a safe and challenging route that is appropriate for the entire group, secure and organize required equipment, analyze nutritional requirements and organize food, develop and communicate a risk management plan, contact relevant resource managers, conduct a pre-trip shakedown, and establish personal fitness goals to prepare group members for the challenges of the venture. Management issues and topics specific to winter such as cold injury, ice safety, winter weather patterns and snow formation are also covered. This course familiarizes students with basic winter camping and traveling practices while providing field opportunities for relevant skill development, such as snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, navigation, and non-technical winter peak ascent. Prerequisite: REC 363: Outdoor Recreation Practicum or documented 4-night camping experience with a credible recreation program. Students wishing to go on the trip associated with this course must also register for REC 421: Winter Practicum Trip PRIOR to the end of the add period.

Students will discuss and apply philosophical and ethical values as they assess recreation program decision making and effectiveness in consideration of current theoretical and applied issues in the recreation professions. In the applied element of the course, students will develop a research-based solution to a specific recreation concern or opportunity at the campus visitor interpretive center that requires the application of these principles. Students must integrate ecological and social-cultural information relevant to the interpretive center?s concerns and opportunities and ultimately develop a program provision and management plan designed to meet the programmatic goals defined by interpretive center?s administrative team. Working collaboratively, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate team management, consensus building, planning, and reporting. Students will also define a philosophical statement that articulates career goals and action plan.

Central to successful ecological restoration is the ability to design ecological restoration plans-that-integrate ecosystem-and social-cultural knowledge. In this-course, students will create - -ecological restoration master plans based on assessment or site inventory data, and human de-sires. Additionally, students will create a complement of implementation, monitoring, and management plans designed to carry out the goals of the master plan. Development of plans will include discussions of different types of restoration, the basic principles that guide ecological restoration, the integration of the science into the restoration process, and the integration of citizen participation into the process at all phases. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, culture and worldviews influence the emergence of ecological restoration.

Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

Students will examine the natural and anthropogenic changes taking place in the totality of the earth's environment across spatial and temporal scales. Students will deepen their understandings of interrelationships and connections between biogeochemical processes in various parts of the earth system, and discuss change mechanisms, tipping points and possible mitigation and adaptation solutions to the tremendous challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change. The course will examine long-term records of global change, as well as focusing on near-past human societies that have successfully or unsuccessfully adapted to changing environmental conditions. We will assess global change models for implications regarding vulnerability of human society and non-human ecosystems to potential change and for insight into strategies for future sustainability.

The emergence of the field of ecological restoration signals a historical paradigm shift in how humans perceive their relationship to the environment. Students will be challenged to think deeply about how the intersection of history, ecology, philosophy, and culture influence the emergence of ecological restoration; to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective for viewing ecosystems; and to articulate the relationship between ecosystem function and human health and well-being. Case studies will be used to examine how ecosystem knowledge, citizen participation, and adaptive strategies have factored into successful restoration of ecosystems and into reconnection of communities to these ecosystems in meaningful ways.

Topics will include supply and demand, pricing, investment evaluation, net revenue maximization, non-timber forest products and the emerging field of ecosystem service valuation. These topics will be explored through a variety of case studies, both domestic and international in scope.

Students will experience multiple recreation-based activities to explore the concepts of play, recreation, and leisure, and to broaden one’s understanding of the diverse ways people spend leisure time. This foundational course surveys specific recreational opportunities such as therapeutic recreation, health and wellness, outdoor and adventure recreation, as well as more passive modes of recreation. Students will critically examine inequity and barriers to access across recreational experiences for diverse populations, focusing on diverse abilities, age, class, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other institutionalized systems of inequality. 3 hour lecture.   Completes General Education Requirements: SC-F or SC-R, LAS.

Everyone may have an opinion about all of these questions, but a systematic process of social research involves forming a clear question, collecting reliable data, drawing credible conclusions from those data, and interpreting this evidence in a way that differentiates reliable information from information that should be viewed skeptically. This course focuses specifically on how we construct knowledge about our world and how that reasoning can be used in an informed decision making process. Prerequisite: QP-F, WC-F.

A number of factors have taken us from crowd sourced, mass produced, perpetually consistent, always available, widely distributed products to a rebirth of the interest in regional, unusual, small batch, artisanal and personally created items. The course explores this cultural phenomenon with specific attention paid to its effects on how Americans choose travel and leisure spending options in relation to it.

Often communities or groups of communities come together to form collaborative partnerships to address an issue, provide a service, or produce some kind of project. This course will provide students with both a conceptual framework and the practical skills for organizing effectively in and across communities. Different types of community organizations such as grassroots citizen action groups, non-profit social service agencies, issue coalitions, and government-sponsored councils will be explored. Concepts of organizing philosophy, advocacy strategies, decision making models, power-structures, institutional change, community control, diversity, and leadership will be considered.

Specific learning projects will be driven by the needs of the local community and include the participation of students, members of the community who are involved in the projects, host country partnering organizations, and the instructors. Though structured reflection exercises and journaling, students continually evaluate their progress, examining how theory relates to their real world experience in the community. Students also develop individual environmental action plans that will enable them to engage creative, environmental solutions on their campuses or in their communities back home. Students design an individual stewardship action plan in cooperation with their instructor. Prerequisite: SC-R.
