A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the inventory:
A survey was created by interior architecture professor Dr. Anna Marshall-Baker for UNCG faculty to identify their courses pertaining to or utilizing concepts of sustainability. For the survey, the university's definition of sustainability in its strategic plan was used to guide respondents. The definition is "Sustainability is the enduring interconnectedness of social equity, the environment, economy, and aesthetics. This interconnectedness provides a foundation from which to discover, implement, and enrich sustainable principles and practice. The intent of sustainability is to instill values that promote justice, invent innovative approaches and solutions to environmental and economic challenges, and invest civility and grace into our communities."
Course descriptions, student learning outcomes, and sustainability content (by percentage) were all requested. The results were reviewed by two faculty members and the sustainability coordinator, and supplemented with an inventory of the class descriptions in the course catalog.
Does the institution make its sustainability course inventory publicly available online?:
