Greetings &
Welcome to Natural Resources!
 The existence of natural resources is very integral to all
forms of life on earth and these resources are overused
in residential, commercial, industrial and transportation
sectors.
 As environmental scientists, it is our responsibility to
explore the causes of the overconsumption of these
resources and develop sound strategies to overcome
the overconsumption.
 Whether you are preparing for an environmental science
related career or just taking this course to satisfy
general education requirements, I hope that this course
will enhance your understanding regarding the impacts
that the limitation of these resources will cause to our
society.

designed to ensure that you have a clear understanding of what you must do to succeed on an
assignment, and it gives the instructor a concrete way to evaluate your work. Rubrics also ensure that
instructors are looking for the same elements across all the submissions for a particular assignment,
making sure that you and your classmates are being graded according to the same expectations. Nearly
every assignment you have at SNHU will include a rubric to assist in grading. You should review any
supporting rubrics before you begin working on an assignment. Remember: Rubrics exist to help you
