Overview:

Students taking BIO / GES 344 - Ecology at Wilkes University during the fall semester of  2004 performed an assignment centered on the Ecological Visions document published by the Ecological Society of America (link to EcoVisions homepage).  The assignment required students to evaluate the document and develop a team-based 30-minute long oral report.  Each team focused on a different part of the EcoVisions document.  Students were graded on several parameters, particularly on content and style.
