News and Announcements

Here you will find any current news and announcements about Ecol 483/583.

May 2010:

Behavioral Trials: You have been collecting behavioral trials on field trips and on your own. These represent important data on what animals are doing, and will contribute to your grade. HERE is an Excel spreadsheet into which you should enter your behavior trial data. Fist complete the summary sections on your behavior data sheets. Then enter all of the data from your data sheets into the spreadsheet. Make one spreadsheet per pair or group of students. Complete all the fields that are applicable. Instructions are in the spreadsheet as to what each column is for. When you complete your spreadsheet email it to Steve Foldi (one per group). Also hand in your original data sheets. Both of these tasks are due on May 4 (last day of lectures). The students that did the most behavioral trials will get bonus points.

Final Lecture Exam: Will be on Tuesday, May 11 8:00-10:00am. The format will be the same as previous exams. This exam is cummulative; of the 150 points, about 50 will relate to material from before the last exam.

Progress to date: 80% of grades for this course have been awarded. All that remains is the Final exam (150 points, 15% of grade) and the lab participation grade (50 points, 5% of grade). These will be assigned in the afternoon on May 11. If you would like your grade to date, please e-mail Dr. Bergmann.

Fieldtrip Photos: Some of the photos taken on the fieldtrips are available:
