Macaulay Honors Seminar, Fall 2022
Welcome to Seminar 3: Science Forward. This course site is an open space for students to present their research on a semester long project. This site works closely with Professor Micha Tomkiewiczs’ blog which can be found here. The focus of this work is looking at different scales both locally (institutional) and globally to seek for solutions to environmental issues. The goal is to provide ways to mitigate issues and find sustainable alternatives for Brooklyn College. Students learned about climate change, how governments have created policies to deal mitigate it, and how to calculate a carbon footprint. Students used this information to create final projects based on Campus as a Lab, to provide lab components to existing courses in order to educate about environmental issues. The Seminar 3 class also teaches students about world issues like population decline, poverty, and how changes in the environment only emphasize these problems more. Professor Micha Tomkiewiczs is very passionate about how governments and institutions can create policies to help the world go down the right path as it faces this impending disaster.
