Students are required to complete two papers and an oral presentation.
Paper 1
Students should write 5-7 pages on a topic related to the material covered in the course. Consultation with the course instructor is strongly encouraged. The goal of Paper 1 is to allow the student to delve deeper into a particular aspect of the Brownfield issue.
Paper 2
Students should write 10-12 pages that build on the topic chosen for the first paper using in-class learning. Paper 2, and the associated oral presentation, will examine going-forward implications of that topic.
Student Work
