#4

This class is very interesting.  I honestly would not have taken it just as an elective but, I am glad that it is required.  Everyone who comes through FGCU should know about the area that we live in during our time here.  I do feel that this class and the other environmental science classes that I've taken rank pretty highly when it comes to the amount of work, but it is necessary.  If you just bring a group of students out to a field trip and talk about the environment without having them reflect on what their experiences were like or how it ties into their lives, these things might never occur to them.  I know they probably wouldn't have occurred to me.
