FYW-1272 Biodiversity: The Other Earthlings

Through field trips, readings, videos, and writing assignments, students will learn about the breath and importance of life’s diversity and will meet some of the unique and ‘alien’ species that share our world. Students will maintain a writer’s journal, complete three papers (with revisions), and have an exam on lecture material. This seminar focuses on broader patterns, ecological relationships, and specific ’biographies’ of interesting species. 4 credits.
