The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and National Geographic commissioned a survey to gauge what young people educated in American colleges and universities know about geography, the environment, demographics, U.S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics. The survey, conducted in May 2016 among 1,203 respondents aged eighteen to twenty-six, revealed significant gaps between what young people understand about today’s world and what they need to know to successfully navigate and compete in it. Included on site is the full survey report (PDF) and a sample quiz of some of the survey questions.

Beim Hörsaal-Spiel "Rot gegen Grün" beantworten die Studierenden Fragen, wobei zwei Gruppen gegeneinander spielen und versuchen, möglichst viele Fragen richtig zu beantworten und somit möglichst viele Punkte zu erreichen. Mit einer solchen Aktion kann der Stoff spielerisch wiederholt und aufgefrischt werden. Außerdem werden der Zusammenhalt und die Gemeinschaft unter den Lernenden gefördert.Der Fragenkatalog enthält etwa 70 Fragen zur den Grundlagen der Elektrotechnik (Gleichstromtechnik und Netzwerkberechnung). Bei Interesse am LaTeX-Quelltext des Dokumentes sowie an den ausführlichen Musterlösungen (nur für Hochschulen) wenden Sie sich bitte an Mathias Magdowski.

Introduction to Environmental Science and Sustainability Canvas Commons Course
SUS 102
General Description:
This course serves to introduce students to the science behind critical environmental debates and the biological basis of creating and maintaining sustainable ecosystems. This course focuses on critical thinking skills to assess such questions as: how do we decide what to believe about environmental issues? How do we predict trends in population growth, or climate change? How do we calculate and understand uncertainty in these predictions? Should people eat lower on the food chain? How are human activities linked to the phosphorus and nitrogen cycles, and pollution and eutrophication? How can fisheries be made to be more sustainable? How can we quantify and value biodiversity? Can we restore “natural” ecosystems and should wolves be re-established in the west? What is valid science in the global warming debate?
Learning outcomes Upon completion of this course students should have the ability to: • Recognize and apply concepts and theories of population biology to interdisciplinary fields such as conservation ecology; • Apply principles of evolutionary dynamics and ecosystem biogeochemistry to understand and predict effects of pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, or acid rain on ecosystems; • Effectively debate and evaluate scientific arguments behind such diverse fields as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or organic vs. conventional farming; • Interpret data critically, and understand uncertainty in scientific data and model prediction in such diverse fields as nitrogen saturation and global climate change; • Calculate carbon footprint, water footprint of human activities • Develop an awareness of the responsibilities of professional scientists.

This course offers a broad overview of physical, chemical, biological, geological, principles of environmental sciences, and serves as a core course for EEOS majors. Examples will focus on linked watershed and coastal marine systems. The student will be introduced to natural processes and interactions in the atmosphere, in the ocean, and on land. There is a focus on biogeochemical cycling of elements as well as changes of these natural cycles with time, especially with recent anthropogenic effects. Topics include plate tectonics, global climate change, ozone depletion, water pollution, oceanography, ecosystem health, and natural resources.

Accounting can be considered the language of business. If you are learning accounting for the first time, embracing its foundational concepts may be a challenging process. Mastery of accounting primarily rests in your ability to critically think through and synthesize the information as it applies to a given situation. You should approach the learning of accounting the same way you would approach learning a foreign language; It will take time and practice to ensure you remember the concepts. There are a number of sub-disciplines that fall under the umbrella of "accounting,” but in this course, we will be focused on financial accounting.

Learning Lab Contextualised Content (LLCC) is a multidisciplinary suite of digital open educational resources. It supports learners and educators by providing foundation resources in an interactive, flexible, and shareable format.
Developed by educators and digital learning designers, the aim of this content is to provide realistic examples of the implementation of skills and knowledge required by students at a tertiary level. Included in the LLCC are materials on a range of subjects from maths, physics, and writing, to critical thinking, collaboration, and time management. The resources encourage learners to think about how they will apply these skills in their future careers and focus on four industry areas: engineering, economics and marketing, healthcare, and social services.
All objects sit within a larger story, that of the Salty Creek Community Festival, and can be explored holistically by the learner. However, each learning object is also modular, meaning it can be used as an independent lesson or activity.
