This article presents the versions of the case studies used during for a UCSD course entitled Introduction to Environmental Systems during Winter quarter 2003. Students work in groups of four or five to discuss the case studies, research background material, and reach a consensus about their own recommendations. Case studies are successful in engaging students in environmental policy issues, helping them master basic concepts, and creating enthusiasm for the course material.
