About BIO-181 Tropical Ecology and Conservation, Fall 2005

The course is for advanced undergraduate and graduate students from different disciplines, i.e., Agriculture, Food and Environment (Friedman School of Nutrition), Biology, Environmental Studies, Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, and Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning). The course meets twice a week during the Fall semester and is followed by 2 weeks of intensive fieldwork in Costa Rica (Dec. 29-Jan 13). The writing workshop (ww) designation means that the course emphasizes writing as a way of learning. In science, writing involves both text and graphical presentation, and this course focuses on both aspects. Please note that the course as presented here does not contain the full content of the course as taught at Tufts. The included content is based on material the Tufts faculty and instructors choose to include, as well as factors such as content preparation, software compatibility, and intellectual property and copyright restrictions.
