Overview
For the mini-essays/mini-projects: students should expect to submit smaller written or creative projects throughout the semester. Mini-essays will consist of critical reflections or argument-focused responses on assigned course readings (10-12 pages, including at least 7-10 peer-reviewed citations each). Mini-projects may include a variety of more creative works that engage with course materials or concepts including (but not limited to): documentaries, infographics, podcasts, photography or other creative works. (Do not have to include class work as long as it revolves around nature and the environment). The topic I am thinking is "Reality Check: How Survival Shows Like Naked and Afraid Leave a Real Environmental Footprint" an example thesis could be "Although survival reality shows like Naked and Afraid appear to promote a raw and natural lifestyle, the behind-the-scenes production often causes environmental harm through ecosystem disruption, resource waste, and carbon-heavy logistics—raising questions about the true cost of so-called “natural” entertainment." please change the wording too if decide on that one. I will also attach some of my writings in the class so you can see the writing style I use. Another example could be how Dude Wipes are bad for the environment.
