OBJECTIVES |
| Local
Flora is a 2 credit course, with the only prerequisite
being a curiosity about the natural world. I am
hoping that each student will gain a greater knowledge
of and appreciation for the plants that comprise
such a large part of our environment. |
| COURSE
POLICIES |
| Attendance
at all classes is required.
There will be a short quiz at the beginning of
each class that will test your knowledge of the
previous week's material. Plant identification will
comprise the bulk of each quiz; however, botanical
and natural history information presented during
class is also fair game for questions. At the end
of the tree unit, there will be an outdoor identification
quiz. |
