BIOL 4976  Biology Field Camp

Prerequisites:

Restricted to students in the third or fourth year of the Honours Biology or Environmental Biology and Technology programs.

Credits:

3

Description:

This course will consist of a one-week intensive field camp (held immediately prior to the fall session or during the spring or summer session) designed to familiarize students with organisms and environments. Emphasis will be placed on survey and sampling techniques. Materials and data collected in the field will be identified, analysed and used to develop a major report and presentation later in the term. The location and main theme of each camp (e.g. terrestrial or freshwater ecology) may vary with the instructor. Each student will be required to pay the costs of transportation, accommodation and meals associated with the field camp experience.
