Other students majoring in Plant Protection or minoring in Horticulture are also encouraged to take this class. The objective of this course is to get experience in the organization and delivery of a seminar on selected horticultural topics. Emphasis is placed on review of literature, writing an abstract, organization of speech, preparation of slides and transparencies, effective delivery of speech, and answering questions from the audience. In addition, all students are required to prepare a resume for review and future use. These topics may vary with student's interest and experience.
Many students select a topic from their previous involvement in internships and field experience.
Students should consult with the their academic advisors or the instructor for deciding a seminar topic as early as possible. Grading will largely be dependent on the evaluations turned in by students and other attendees of the seminar. Transparencies for overhead projection and other supplies may be obtained from Louise in the main office.
