Course Description

ESRM 435 (2012)

 

Forest Entomology for Winter Quarter 2012

 

Meets: Tue & Th, 0830-0950, W105

 

 

(1) Main reading from the textbook, “Forest Health and Protection” by Edmonds, Agee and Gara. 2010 Edition

 

(2) There will be a short weekly assignment that will ask you to write and/or diagram entomological information that wasn’t covered -- due Thursdays.  Every short assignment not turned in will result in a 0.3 reduction in the final grade.

 

(3) There is a term paper. The title will be selected from topics listed at end of this syllabus.  Please tell me which topic you choose and there will be no more than two students choosing the same topic.  This assignment is more than a term paper for the graduate students: each graduate student will present his/her topic to an audience at a mutually acceptable time.

 

(4) Course grading: (1) the mid term exams will be 40% of the final grade, and (2) the final exam will be 50%, and (3) the term paper will be 10% of the final grade.  Both midterms and the final will contain questions from the reading assignments as well as from the lectures.

 

· Graduate students will turn in a term paper at the time of the final exam.  Title of the paper will be determined after a discussion with me.
