This course introduces students to the complete process of investigating field-based ecological questions. In this class, students will pose questions about ecological phenomena, develop hypotheses, design experimental and/or observational studies, collect appropriate data in the field, and analyze, interpret, and present these data qualitatively and quantitatively. The course will be divided into a distance-learning section where students will be introduced to the concepts of experimental design, analysis, and interpretation, and an on-campus section where students will collect data and present their results. This hands-on class will familiarize students with transferable tools and skills used to investigate ecological questions in a scientific manner.
