Description

In this Supported Project seminar students took on projects to advance Hampshire College's new Climate Action Plan. This course provided a structured, collaborative environment for students to pursue projects alone or as part of a project team. Students designed, refined, and implemented projects such as improving composting, increasing energy use awareness, or designing educational programming. A primary goal for students was to develop the skills to complete an action-oriented independent project in preparation for Division III. Skill development included writing an effective project plan, clear and compelling communication, engaging in constructive feedback, and working ethically in community context. Completion of this course fulfills the Div II Supported Project Requirement.
