Ecology

Lessons will be presented in a variety of forms. When lectures are scheduled, I would recommend that you download and print out the lectures notes before each class and use them to follow along. The lecture notes are also helpful to use to review for tests. I will not print lecture notes for you.

Be aware: Printing out lectures notes does not mean that you can skip class or sleep through lectures! In fact, the notes that I provide you are meant to help you to maximize learning in the classroom. A successful student should print out the notes and practice active listening skills as I discuss each slide. Ask questions! Jot down additional information. Review your notes each day.
