Popis:	This paper presents an active-learning approach applied to an upper level elective course titled Human Societies & Environment, which draws its subject matter from a variety of disciplines in the social and natural sciences. The paper recognizes that the desire to discuss current environmental issues is a significant learning motive, and experiments with a coursework design centered on a set of regularly convened student debate sessions. A student moderator conducts the debates between two teams of students. Lectures, Internet searches, numerical analysis, and research projects form supporting activities that serve to organize and inform the debates as well as to consolidate pedagogic value of the course.
