By the second week of the course, students will have developed their independent projects and will present their ideas to the faculty and class for evaluation in terms of conceptual validity, analytical design and ability to complete within the time scheduled. In the final week of the course, students will write and orally present their final report to the class. Suggested places to stay are given on the La Suerte web pages, or I can send you names and telephone numbers by request. A brief stop will be made at Braulio Carillo National Park, to view cloud forest habitat. In the evening you will be given talks on the background to the field station, and on rules, regulations, course content, etc.
Orientation walks and lectures, to familiarize students with field station and forests.
