Current Issues in Restoration Ecology and Environmental Horticulture

MEH Advising & skills development
(Autumn 2018)

Welcome!  We meet on Thursday afternoons in DRC 103 unless indicated
otherwise.

This course is being extensively revised to focus on MEH advising and skills

development.  Our intent is that students register for it and SEFS 549

concurrently.

 

Instructional team: Jim Fridley, Jon Bakker, Soo-Hyung Kim, Caren Crandell

 

Information about the updated course is available through Canvas.  A cursory schedule is provided here, along with schedules from previous years when this course focused entirely on discussions of journal articles.  Please see Canvas for more details.
