Documentation

Do the figures reported above cover one, two, or three academic years?:
One

A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
The course inventory is for the 2020/2021 academic year. Faculty were emailed near the end of the academic year asking if they offered courses that included sustainability topics, using AASHE's inclusive definition. A follow-up email was sent a few weeks later.
During the 2021/2022 year, I went through the 20/21 offerings and targeted specific courses that were not yet in the inventory and I reached out to those specific faculty. If the faculty member did not respond, I got a copy of that syllabus from our library and used the syllabus to determine if the course included sustainability.

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Each offering or section of a course was counted as an individual course

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
If there were multiple sections of a course, each section was counted as an individual course. For example, a Biology course in Ecology and Evolution had 4 sections, so it was counted four times.
