Most of the science classes which I’ve taken have been physics based. I haven’t done anything relating to biology since my freshman year of high school, so it is nice to experience something different from what I’m used to.
What would you most like to get out of taking this course?
I’m really excited to talk about to social implications of how humans impact our environment. I think one of the most interesting anomalies in nature is our ability to shape the world around that, and I think I would enjoy discussing our responsibilities surrounding that.
As a student, what further information would you ask to find out about antibiotics in the soil or composting?
I would like to know what I can do to try to prevent this from spreading and becoming a bigger problem than it has to be.
Thinking about your fellow students, what issues do you think would appeal most to them about these issues?
I think prevention might also appeal to them in the same way that it does to me.
What are some examples of things you might learn relative to civic engagement by helping with this service learning
It will be interesting to see which parts of Athens suffer from antibiotic resistant bacteria, if other cities suffer in similar areas, and the various ways this can be reduced.
