This class builds upon information presented in BSC 3312 Marine
Biology (this is a prerequisite). By combining lecture and group
discussions and projects with a field and lab experience, students will
explore a variety of contemporary topics in marine biology. The course
will introduce students to modern research methods and focus on biota
from local, nearshore environments. Readings from the scientific
literature will be used to augment lecture presentations and help design
and execute student projects. Grading will be based upon written
assignments, class participation and laboratory performance.
