Description
This course focuses on techniques used in biological and environmental field work. Students will learn how to do field work that could involve such techniques as habitat assessments, water and soil sampling, macroinvertebrate and fish sampling, and mammal and bird surveys. Students will also learn how to use the collected data in various professional formats. This course will involve spending a share of time in field conducting tests and collecting and recording data; time spent indoors will include collating and analyzing data, writing reports, and presenting findings. The specific course topics covered will vary by semester, so this course is repeatable. Prerequisite: ENGL 120 or equivalent.
