BIOL 5329 - Readings in Ecology

Credit Hours: 3
Contact Hours Lecture: 3
Contact Hours Lab: 0

In this course we will read and discuss a variety of papers and topics that helped to shape our current understanding of ecology. The goal for each week is to understand what the theory or idea is being presented at the time, to see how it affects ideas, policy, and beliefs in ecological systems. It is everyone’s responsibility to read for each week, and to be prepared to discuss topics in detail. While no one person will be designated an official moderator each week, students must prepare to be able to provide detailed discussion about each topic, including the material assigned as well as providing outside material as well. Discussions are meant to be insightful and intelligent, while still allowing students to discuss issues and topics important to them individually as well.
