A brief description of the methodology used to determine the total number of courses offered and to identify sustainability course offerings, including the definitions used and the process for reviewing and/or validating the course inventory :

The definitions were based on the STARS 2.1 Technical Manual. Staff with the Office of Sustainability reviewed the Master Course Syllabi for each academic course at MacEwan (2 staff). These lists were then submitted to the Dean's office for each faculty for review. Procedures varied based on department but generally included review by course lead or curriculum committee member.

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
