Berliner, Seeley G Mudd 229, 303-871-7476, HYPERLINK "mailto:berliner@du.edu" berliner@du.edu Office hours: I am available most afternoons (except Thursdays) from 1:00 or 1:30 5pm, 229 Seely G.

We will first study the chemical and physical properties that govern the fate and transport of host chemicals. This is followed in detail by a study of the basic pharmacology/toxicology and how these are measured. Aspects of risk/benefit analysis will also be covered. Textbooks Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology, Donald G. Crosby (Topics in Environmental Chemistry) [Hardcover] [available used for around $12 from Amazon and other online sellers; the bookstore will charge $120+) ISBN-13: 978-0195117134 Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Environmental Issues 14th edition-Expanded Edition [Paperback] ISBN-13: 978-0073514482 - Be sure it's the EXPANDED EDITION Thomas Easton (Author) [available new for around $10-15 from Amazon and other online sellers] Grading, student responsibilities, expectations and obligations: Class Format and Grading: The class will utilized both cooperative learning as well as some lecture components. Student groups will be responsible for three assigned presentations and a final presentation and 5-8 page term paper (min. 1500 words) on a controversial subject in environmental chemistry and toxicology. The term paper will be individually written. Format and content requirements will be distributed separately. Late paper penalties are 33%/day, including weekends. Attendance is mandatory: each unexcused absence lowers your final grade by one step (e.g. A to A-, etc.) Grading Summary Pts (%) Presentations: 4@50 pts each 200 40 Short Papers 3@50 pts each 150 30 Peer Evaluation 25 5 Final Paper 125 25 TOTAL POINTS 500 100 Reading assignments should read not later than the day prior to the class day. Each reading assignment is outlined in the syllabus to allow you at least one week prior to the assignment. Keeping Current In order to keep up to date on environmental issues it is important to read a daily newspaper each day [hard copy or online] as the current candidates will be weighing in on these issues as well. Please note that Denver Post, USA Today and NY Times are available free for DU students around campus. Writing assignments we will have short writing assignments through the quarter (600+ words) that will normally be due in 48 hours or the next class period, whichever comes first. Late submissions will be penalized 33% per day including weekends. Emphasis will be placed equally on content, spelling, grammar and format. The final exam will be a term paper (min. 1500 words) where the group will do the research together, but each member must write their own original paper (topics TBA). You will have several opportunities to submit revised papers (see information about the Writing Center below) There may be extra credit possibilities as well. Reaction papers you will be required to write three short, 600+ word papers describing your reaction to the material presented by the guest lecturers and/or the Poisoned Waters video. You will be required to do some outside research [properly cited] to back up your arguments. You will have the opportunity for Writing Center consultations and rewrites. You can submit up to two extra credit papers for 25pts each. Attendance - is mandatory (including assigned outside lectures/activities). Your final grade will be reduced down a grade for every missed class (ie., A to A-, etc.) Excused absences are rarely granted and must be approved in advance (except for documented health or family emergencies). Students arriving more than 5 minutes late will be considered absent for the day. Group presentations a major part of the seminar nature of the course will be cooperative learning group presentations, where Group presentations will be graded on the basis of understanding the material, content, and convincing arguments. While the evaluation will be based mainly on how well the group performed, individuals may occasionally be graded differently. You will have sufficient time to prepare as a group, including in-class work sessions. Your attendance and participation with your group is essential. Taking Sides - for our environmental issue discussions, there will be a moderator and a pro- and con- viewpoint. The readings on Taking Sides will also include specific, in-depth questions to address on the back of a worksheet that you will be provided. Each student will choose one of the questions and submit a one-page written response that will comprise 20% of the presentation grade. Your presentation can be in any format: costumes, Powerpoint, or just talking. The environment of the classroom is designed to be intimate and comforting as we are, in part, a self-selected student group based on our interests related to the course topics. We will also include two peer evaluations during the quarter. Rules and courtesy and respect in presentations personal beliefs/opinions are sensitive issues. Please try to take the stance opposite to your personal opinions. Each group member should contribute an equal amount of input/time/verbiage to each presentation. Rotate your position [moderator/pro/con] for each environmental presentation. Laptops and Electronic Devices Use of these items are forbidden during class. Laptops, phones and tablets must be closed and off. If several warnings are necessary, the student will receive an absence from class for the day. Laptops/tables may be used for presentations and the occasional guest speaker where internet instructions will be given.
