BIOL 105-720 Biology and Society: From Vanilla Beans to Peppercorns: The Environmental Impact of the Search for Flavor
The course is completely on-line. (no in person, no zooming)
The class is a GenEd IV B non-lab science worth three credits.
The class is divided into three parts – history of the spice trade, case studies on pepper and vanilla, and the environmental impact of the spice industry.
Winter Term is three weeks long – 15 class days. Each day will consist of one Module with readings, PowerPoints (may contain links to videos) and a quiz. Assignments include article or recipe reviews, a paper on a spice of the students choosing, cooking with that spice, and a creation of a brochure on the researched spice.
You can work the class to fit your schedule – there are due dates, but you can do assignments early so if you want to do several modules in one day you can.
