Environmental Dimensions of Modern Agro-food System Academic Level : Bachelor Paper details SHORT – 3 x 10% each = 30% For 3 of the 4 units, you are expected to prepare a short summary and reflection based on the course lectures and expected readings. Each should be roughly 750 words, or 3 double-spaced pages. The short papers have 2 basic parts: 1) summarize at least 3 major subjects covered in the unit and identify why they are important, drawing upon material from both lectures and expected readings. 2) reflect on how 1 or more of the subjects covered in the unit (which don’t need to be the same ones discussed in the first section) challenge you to think about some of the food you are consuming more critically (i.e. with attention to social and/or environmental considerations you did not previously think about). This discussion can be focused on as little as one item and might be assisted if you keep a running food diary throughout the course (~1 page).
