The Environmentally Conscious Skies: Did The European Union’S Game Of Brinksmanship Lead To A Viable Global Plan For Emissions Trading In Aviation?, Darren Prum, Kathryn Kisska-Schulze

Effective January 1, 2012, the European Union (EU) instituted the first emissions trading scheme (ETS) for aviation which affected the domestic and international commercial airline industry flying into and out of the EU.

Abstract: Collaborating With Students as Co-Authors By: Wendy B.

Utilization of a variety of teaching methods facilitates learning by our students. While this article only describes one end- result, the creation of a casebook, the process of creating that book involves many different teaching methods, thus many different opportunities to …
