Class Schedule
See here for our class schedule, critical dates and discussion leaders
Each student will be expected to: (1) Come prepared to class (i.e. read the assigned reading) – A core component of this class is discussion and learning via dialogue, debate, and the exchange of ideas between each other. This means taking the time to read in entirety the assigned reading. I expect you to completely read the assigned reading and be prepared to discuss these ideas without being prompted to do so. (2) Class presentations/discussion leaders – Class presentations/discussion leaders – Take part in leading formal class discussions of the assigned reading material. A formal discussion should consist of a lecture on the topic of interest to the discussion leader. The topic should be focused on methodologies/issues of scaling. Presentations should include a thoughtful summary of what the leaders think are the important points of the topic and paper(s) being presented. Leaders are expected to guide the discussion and debate. More importantly the leaders are expected to teach the topic to the class. I encourage a focus on the scholarly background on the topic as well as focusing on methodological issues (if available, preferably using R and a dataset from the paper or related topic to help teach the analysis side of the topic). Reading material will be made available as pdfs on the class website. (3) Original research project on scaling – All graduate students will be expected to conduct an original research project on biological scaling. Research topics can range from a research paper based on original data collection (either in the lab, field, or literature) to a thoughtful and opinionated review paper. Each graduate student will present these results in both oral and written form.
Papers will be presented orally at the end of the semester. Written papers are due on the last day of class and should be presented in the form of a manuscript written in the style of a paper to be submitted to a journal of choice (Ecology, Oecologia, American Naturalist etc.). Students who either submit their project or plan on sending their research to a scientific journal can sign up for three credits otherwise the assigned grade for the class will be for two credits. Students who sign up for three credits and intend to submit their paper but have not done so by the end of the semester may choose to receive: i) an incomplete until the manuscript is submitted or ii) receive two credits for the course with the knowledge of adding 1 hour of independent study when manuscript is submitted. Please schedule time to meet with me to discuss and plan your project by the second week in February. Be prepared to share a list specific questions, areas of research interest etc.
Text/Reading: Assigned reading should be read before each class. No textbooks are required for this course. Reading material will instead be available as pdf or direct links via the class website. See also the class bibliography for a listing sources that provide important material or overviews of the literature for this course
