Seminar is one of the unique experiences at Evergreen.  The seminar in this class looks at the environmental and sociological impacts of chemistry and the chemical industry.  It also constitutes an essential preparation for the oral presentation associated with the final examination.  Active participation in seminar is a requirement of the course.

Seminar also provides a basis for the presentation in the final examination.  The various topics in seminar discuss some fundamentals about the environment, man's interactions as part of the environment, and motivational factors in modern society.
