The Ecological Effects of Pollution, Disturbance and Other Stresses. Raven, Peter H., Berg, Linda R., and Johnson, George B. 1998. I provide students with a general lecture outline, leaving ample room for additional comments and supplementation. Please excuse the various typos etc. that you are bound to find in my imperfect notes. The primary purpose for this is to liberate students during class, so that time may be spent concentrating and questioning, not speed writing.
Absences are a fact of life.
Make-up exams will be arranged at your and my convenience only if I am aware of the absence, and the reason for it, in advance of the scheduled exam. The mid-semester evaluations are particularly useful for actively addressing student concerns during the current semester. Exams will include a combination of objective questions and short essay questions. Understanding, synthesis, and application of material are emphasized. A notebook of current literature germane to the class will be maintained by each student.
