I believe in integrating my research and engagement work into the classroom. The main way I do this is by having students work on ‘real’ projects in all my classes.
FNR 498C: Natural Resource Planning
I am responsible for the undergraduate capstone course in the department which is offered every year. In this course, I challenge students to write a natural resource management plan for a large area. In 2005, students wrote a plan for Brown and Monroe Counties in Indiana. In 2006, students wrote a plan for the Kankakee Sands area of Indiana and Illinois. The most recent syllabus can be found here.
FNR 598V: Community Involvement in Natural Resource Management
In the fall of 2006, I will teach Community Involvement in Natural Resource Management. Students enrolled in this class will help to design and facilitate a community visioning project for the future of the Wabash River in Tippecanoe County.
FNR 598R: Regional Land Use Planning
In the fall of 2004 and 2005, I taught Regional Land Use Planning at the graduate level. In 2005, students worked on projects of relevance to two regional planning initiatives in Indiana – greenways in Northwestern Indiana and watershed planning for the Clifty Creek Watershed. The most recent syllabus can be found here.
