BIO 21300 Nature Study

(4 cr.) Lecture-Lab: (3-2)
(F)
A lecture/laboratory and field course in the behavior, ecology, and classification of plants and animals, including recognition of local flora and fauna, the course is designed to give natural history background material to the liberal arts non-science major, to the non-specialists interested in outdoor life, to those interested in nature interpretation, and to elementary school teachers. NOTE: This course is physically demanding at times due to several planned hikes. Walking through bogs, fens and wading in rivers are planned. Students are expected to car pool and share expenses for field trips. Contact Denise Kemp 989-275-5000 ext 391 or email denise.kemp@kirtland.edu (Science Credit).
