Catalog Description: Involves participation
in an off-campus field trip to experience a focused study of
a unique biotic habitat. May involve pre-trip lectures
and organizational meetings and/or post-trip class sessions
or presentations.
Prerequisites: BIO 105 or BIO 101 or department approval.
Students in the Spring
2008 version of BIO 220 Field Natural History
will take a trip to
the Bahamian island of San Salvador.
Follow our trip
with this day by day photo journal.
The ultimate purpose
of this website is to, (1) highlight the activities of each
BIO 220 adventure, and (2)
offer information to others who
might be interested in developing a similar course experience
for their students.
Links
to various field stations where instructors may take their
students for out of the classroom experiences; information
will offered to help avoid potential problems when planning
trips and suggestions will be offered about what to take
with you depending on the habitat.
It is hoped that
our past experiences will save
others from having to "reinvent
the wheel".
