Gigi Richard: Using in GEOL 196 Topics: The Future of Food at Colorado Mesa University part of Future of Food
I piloted The Future of Food as a science essential learning course for non-majors taught in a hybrid or blended setting. We met in person once per week and the remainder of the course material delivery was online. The students from a diverse group were excited about it, but were particularly challenged by the amount and variety of science concepts that were new to them. To alleviate some challenges, I spent more time in class discussing the topics to help them clear up any pre-class assignments confusion. The semester-long capstone project is the highlight of the course. Students explore concepts in the context of an assigned food region and along with the capstone projects, they enjoyed eating foods from the capstone regions.
