Hey, fellow ecologgers: I teach at a school with mostly 1st and 2nd year college students. My science coordinator (and dear colleague) asked me to set up an honors introductory ecology course for non-science majors. I've looked at some online syllabi of honors biology courses--many are high school or AP courses--and am not convinced that their material will transfer well to (again, for emphasis) a non-science majors lower-division ecology course. If any of you have taught an honors-level non-science majors introductory ecology course, would you send me (1) a sample syllabus and/or (2) tips on what topics you might cover in such a course and/or (3) any state standards you used to set up such a course? I'm at "alex_olvidoATyahoo.com" (without quotes; please change AT to @).
Many thanks in advance. -- Alex O.
