The assignments are due two weeks from the day that they are distributed in class. To do well in this course you need first and foremost to attend lectures. At the lectures you should pay careful attention, take good notes, and ask questions when points are unclear. I do several things to try to help you organize and understand the material. First, before each lecture I will present an outline of what will be covered.
Many students find it useful to arrive a few minutes early to copy the outline into their notes.
Second, I will show a lot of overheads transparencies and slides in this class to illustrate the topics we discuss. Paper copies of overhead transparencies will be available for your review by the time of the next lecture. The copies will be kept in a three ring binder on the reserve shelf of the Natural Resources Library in Jordan Hall. The copies should not be removed from the library, but may be photocopied if you wish. Third, one week before each exam I will hand out a review sheet.
