BIO-181 Tropical Ecology and Conservation, Fall 2005
The course is for advanced undergraduate and graduate students from
different disciplines, i.e., Agriculture, Food and Environment (Friedman School
of Nutrition), Biology, Environmental Studies, Fletcher School of Law
and Diplomacy, and Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning). The course
meets twice a week during the Fall semester and is followed by 2 weeks
of intensive fieldwork in Costa Rica (Dec. 29-Jan 13). The writing
workshop (ww) designation means that the course emphasizes writing as a
way of learning. In science, writing involves both text and
graphical presentation, and this course focuses on both aspects.
