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 Sustainability Office sifted through all course information available on the Laurier website to identify sustainability related and focused courses. Based on the available information, the Sustainability Office created a list of sustainability-focused courses and a list of sustainability-related courses. Because the information on the Laurier website is in some cases lacking sufficient detail to make an accurate decision as to whether or not the course falls within the definition of “sustainability in the curriculum”, the above mentioned lists were validated by faculty members. This was done through a survey sent to all faculty members; faculty has the opportunity to identify sustainability courses that were not on the list but should be or to remove courses that shouldn’t have been put on the list in the first place. The Sustainability Office collected the survey results and amended the sustainability course inventory as necessary.
