The most significant aspect of the course is a final synthesis of the data sets collected from the different study reefs. They look for trends and patterns across reefs and correlations with other data sets collected during the course. The work groups then present their analyses and discuss their conclusions with the rest of the class. Each student spends an additional 10-15 hours working on the final analysis and presentation.
