Professor Scott Bair teaching groundwater aspects of the Woburn Toxic Trial

• Teaching an entire mock trial course, which can use all 13 student learning modules and all the resource collections
• Teaching portions of a hydrogeology course, which can draw from six student learning modules and the resource collections
• Teaching portions of integrative courses, which can use any of the student learning modules and resource collections

The three "A Civil Action" courses, listed above, for which resources are provided all utilize the Student Learning Modules, which include assignments and activities for students that draw upon the Resource Collections. Alternatively, you can create your own course by perusing the Overarching Societal Questions raised in "A Civil Action" and Key Issues in the Trial and using any of the other resources within the website.
