EEMB W 22 will provide students with a strong grasp of the scientific and social issues underlying present and future biological concerns. Online delivery promotes the use of instructional technology to enhance the learning experience for students and increases the ease in which students can enroll in, participate in, and learn from remote instructors and materials. It is our goal that EEMB W 22 is an enhanced learning experience for students rather than simply a surrogate for face-to-face instruction
