BIO311F: Landscape Ecology
Landscape ecology asks how spatial patterns originate and how they affect ecological processes like forest dynamics, nutrient cycling, species interactions, and the distribution and population dynamics of plants and animals. Lectures and computer labs introduce students to concepts and methods of landscape ecology and their application to current issues of land-use management and global change. The students will learn to apply GIS, landscape metrics, and modeling to address problems in conservation, biodiversity, and ecosystem management. (syllabus)
BIO360F: Biometrics I
BIO360F is an introductory-level Biometrics course that covers basic statistical concepts and methods in the context of biological research. Students are strongly encouraged to complete their basic statistical training by taking BIO361S in addition to BIO360F. The major topics covered in BIO360F are Exploratory Data Analysis, Data Collection, Probability and Sampling Distributions, Hypothesis Testing using Parametric and Non-parametric Methods, Simple Linear Regression, and One-way Analysis of Variance. The statistical computer package Minitab will be used. (syllabus)
