  • Objectives: This course will introduce students to management practices used to achieve specific objectives using the fisheries, forestry and wildlife resources. Through laboratory experiences, students will observe examples of management and develop basic hands-on skills relative to measuring and assessing these resources.
  • Attendance: We will not check attendance in lectures or labs, but regular attendance is expected.  Missing lectures and labs will lower your grade in this class.  Please let your lab instructor know as soon as possible about any unavoidable absence from class.  If you miss an exam because of an emergency (health problem or family crisis), you are responsible for arranging a make-up exam immediately after your return to class.

  • Grading: Your grade for this course will be based on three exams in lecture (75%) and an overall laboratory score (25%).  The lecture grade will consist of your scores on three non-cumulative exams.  Your lab grade will be based on two exams (35 points each), two lab reports (10 points each), and weekly lab quizzes (totaling 10 points).  If you have questions regarding your course average, contact Dr. Dubay, the course coordinator.  Your lab score is the responsibility of your lab instructor.  Your final grade for the course will be assigned based on the final percentage of total points you earned, rounded to the nearest whole percentage: A = 93-100%;
    A = 90-92%; B+ = 87-89%; B = 83-86%; B = 80-82%; C+ = 77-79%; C = 73-76%; C = 70-72%; D+ = 67-69%; D = 60-66%;
    F = 0-59%.
