Second Summer Session Pass/Fail Deadline
Thursday, June 28th by 4:00pm is the last day to sign up to take a SSII class pass/fail. If you are interested in taking a class pass/fail, please stop by my office (Mottier Hall 100) so we can complete the required paperwork (however, please note that I will be out of the office on Friday, June 22nd and Monday, June 25th). Here is some information about the pass/fail option from the College of Arts and Sciences Bulletin (http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/coas/2006-2008/student.shtml#pass):
“During the four years of their undergraduate program, students in good standing (not on probation) may enroll in a maximum of eight elective courses to be taken with a grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail). The Pass/Fail option is open for a maximum of two courses per academic year, including summer sessions. For the Pass/Fail option, the academic year is defined as beginning with the start of the fall semester and ending with the end of the second summer session. The course selected for Pass/Fail must be an elective (i.e., it cannot fulfill requirements other than the minimum 122 hours required for the degree, and the requirements for credit hours at the 300-400 level). It may not be used to satisfy any of the College of Arts and Sciences’ general education requirements, nor may it be counted as a part of the student’s concentration area, nor may it be counted toward completion of a minor or certificate program. The course or courses may be used to meet the requirement for courses at the 300-400 level.”

ANTH-E 101 Ecology and Society
Section 26414
TR 1-2:15 (Student Building 150)
Catherine Tucker
ANTH-E 101 Ecology and Society is a fall course on current environmental issues designed for the non-major (but applicable to the ANTH minor). It carries S&H distribution.
Nearly every day, we hear news of environmental degradation, severe weather events, toxic pollution and impending climate change. How are we to understand this information? What does it mean for our lives?
This course addresses these questions by exploring human-environment relationships from cross-cultural, historical, scientific and ethical perspectives. Through readings and discussion, students will evaluate how societies vary in beliefs and perceptions of nature, and the implications for behavior, decision-making, and environmental change. We will examine current environmental problems and the debates over their causes and possible solutions. Using the concepts of ecological footprint, adaptive capacity, and resilience, we will assess the ramifications of our own choices and behaviors. Do we have moral and ethical responsibilities in our patterns of consumption? Students will be evaluated on reading responses, class participation, assignments, a midterm and a final exam.

Miscellaneous Tidbits
Here are a few random tidbits of information that have come to my attention recently:
- Are you considering law school, medical school, or a career in a field like pharmaceutical sales? If so, then check out the Health Professions and Prelaw Center's (HPPLC) new and improved website at http://www.indiana.edu/~udivhpp/. The website and the advisors at HPPLC are wonderful resources for students interested in careers in law and healthcare.
- Looking for an N&M for the fall? Consider STAT-S 100 Statistical Literacy. The course does not assume or require any previous experience with statistics. Students considering S100 should have a good algebra background: either two years of algebra in high school or MATH-M 014 Basic Algebra at IU. Here is a course description for the fall:
STAT S100 - Statistical Literacy -- Kelly McNamara
1:25pm-2:15pm - MWF - PY226
P: MATH M014 or equivalent. How to be an informed consumer of statistical analysis. Experimentsand observational studies, summarizing and displaying data, relationships between variables, quantifying uncertainty, drawing statistical inferences. S100 cannot be taken for credit if credit has already been received for any statistics course (in any department) numbered 300 or higher.
