All quizzes and the material to be covered in each will be announced one class meeting in advance. In addition several homework assignments will be given which will be averaged together with your quiz grade. The lowest quiz grade, including zeroes if a quiz is missed, will not be included in your average. Eligible students are strongly encouraged to enroll for honors. The honors project will be in the form of an independent research project in the general area of ecology.
Deadlines are early in the semester.
Tests may include one or two bonus questions. Proposals for extra credit projects must be developed in cooperation with the instructor and must be submitted in writing by the fourth Monday of the semester. No proposals for extra credit will be accepted after that date. Please feel free to stop in my office or lab at any time or to call me at home during the early evening. I am particularly interested in receiving your comments on the course.
