Documentation
Do the figures reported above cover one, two, or three academic years?:
A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
The Sustainability Coordinator developed a list of search terms and phrases affiliated with sustainability. A student worker searched the online course catalog for those terms in the course titles and descriptions. Once the list was created, the Sustainability Coordinator determined if those courses were sustainability courses or courses that contained sustainability. Finally, each college was asked to verify the course listing and provide additional courses that may have been omitted due to the limitation of only being able to search course titles and descriptions. For a full explanation of the methodology and the terms used, please contact UNO's Sustainability Coordinator.
How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted:
Sustainability courses with multiple offerings were counted as 1 course per each offering. For example, if the same course was offered as BIOL 4820, BIOL 8826, and ENVN 4820; it was counted as 3 courses. A sustainability course with multiple sections was counted as 1 course, despite the number of sections offered. Some courses are offered to both undergraduates and graduates, and will appear as different course numbers but the same course names. These courses were counted as 2 courses, one for undergraduates and one for graduates.
