Course title:
Northwest Ornithology
Course Requirements (Expectations of Students) - Must reflect the modality change;
what purpose will on-campus meetings (if applicable) serve? How will the modality
change affect specific course requirements such as labs, peer-to-peer interaction, or group
discussion?
There will be an on-campus orientation session during the first week of the quarter. At this
session the class web site will be demonstrated and techniques for insuring personal safety
on field trips will be discussed.
Methods of Assessment/Evaluation - Must reflect the modality change; please
specifically address how you will ensure the integrity of the evaluation process.
How will the methods used to assess the general education outcomes and course outcomes
differ from the methods described in the course outline?
Students will complete weekly online quizzes, submit weekly field notes and contribute to
the class discussion. WebCT courseware provides a secure environment for testing,
interpersonal communications and group discussions.
Required Materials and Competencies - Please specify any hardware/software
requirements, Internet access needs, and prerequisite computer competencies for the class
Students must have regular Internet access and enough computer memory to display
graphics and photographs.
Supplemental Materials and Competencies
similar to the above, but purchase or acquisition is optional
A camera is a useful tool for recording the details of the habitats the student visits as well as
recording any unusual birds or bird behaviors. A digital camera would allow the student to
append their photographs to their field trip reports.
