A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
A review of the 2018/2019 academic calendar was conducted using a keyword search from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Earth Charter (including words such as sustainability, environment, environmental, diversity, conservation, climate change, ecology, safety, water, etc.) as well as a review of courses being taught by professors conducting sustainability research. All courses flagged were then manually reviewed to determine if the course met the definition of sustainability-focused or sustainability-inclusive or neither.
Each course section was counted as a separate course. This aligns with the recommendations from the STARS technical documents to maximize the number of students exposed/educated on sustainability.
Independent study, thesis courses, special studies and practicums were excluded. Courses with less than four students enrolled, and courses with a course code of SART (Studio Art), THST (Theater Studies), MUSC (Music), XSEN (Seneca College Courses), VETM (Veterinary Medicine), or COOP (cooperative education). The process described was used for undergraduate and graduate courses.
