All of last years web notes have been assembled into a CoursePack that contains 155 pages of printed material organized by lecture topic as listed below.

The cost to the student of this CoursePack is about $10.00. CoursePacks are available from The Copy Shop, 535 East 13th (about two blocks west of campus). An attempt to make thse available for purchase at the Environmental Studies office has failed. So, go to the Copy Shop and ask for the EVS 202 coursepack.

It is highly recommended that you take advantage of this relatively inexpensive and greatly time saving way to get a complete set of notes that form the foundation of this course. While individual lectures will differ slightly from these printed notes (based on last years course), they nonetheless will be highly relevant throughout the term.
