My goal for Conservation Biology is to make this a true seminar
course. That means discussion and lots of it! Your grade in
the course will be largely based on your participation in these
discussions. To effectively participate, you must thoroughly
read the assigned material and come to class prepared to talk
about it. On the plus side, if the discussions go well, there
will be no “major” exams (but there will be occasional
short, in class assignments based on the reading).
