Students enjoy an Ohio Sense of Place field trip, a tree and herb walk at Strouds Run, in Fall 2014.
NOTICE: This course is not running Fall 2015. Watch for it next semester.
A new introductory course for the Ohio: Sense of Place curricular theme involves student-selected field trips to experience different aspects of the great state of Ohio, such as its history, culture, industry, environmental issues, landscape, arts, and people.
CAS 1605 Experience Ohio: Gaining a Sense of Place is offered in Fall 2015. Seven different Ohio University faculty members are leading the various field trips.
Field trips include those led by professors from the natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences and those undertaken by students individually. Assignments include online discussion of the field trips after they are completed and the creation of portfolios for each field trip in order to document the sights and sounds of the Ohio experience. (This course is starting in the Fall 2015 semester.)
