Syllabus: Introduction to field and laboratory methods in ecologyTHAI NGUYEN UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM OFFICE ESP 123 INTRODUCTION TO FIELD AND LABORATORY METHODS IN ECOLOGY Syllabus 1Teaching StaffSubject lecturer: NGUYEN THI THU HUONGOrganization:Office Location:Phone:Mobile phone: 0912 530872Email: nguyenhuong0987@gmail.comConsultation hours: 45Msc. Nguyen Thi Thu Huong obtained her Bsc (Honors) in Biological Science and Msc inEcology and Environmental Science from Hanoi national University of Education. Hersecond Msc is Animal Science conferred by the University of Queensland Australia.Subject OverviewWelcome to ESP 123, this course provides you the tools to study principles of ecology andother related fields. It develops from the courses of biology, ecology, statistics and researchmethodology. In this course we will examine the whole process of conducting a generalecological study of which focus on methodologies to collect and analyses data. Topic includesa general design of an ecological study, sampling methodologies, ecological measurements,analysis of habitat, population and production, interpreting information by using statisticsoftware and presenting research information.Learning OutcomesThis course aims to provide student tools to conduct general ecological researches both in thefield and laboratory. After successfully completing this course you should be able to:1. Demonstrate understanding of procedure for planning an ecological research project.2. Describe project design and data management in field research.3. Understand how to choose and describe the research sites.4. Describe general sampling techniques for static and mobile organisms.5. List and describe the measurements and methodologies for analysing habitat, populations,community and production.6. Develop ability to collect, analyse and organise information from theory to practice.7. Strengthen ability to interact effectively with others in order to work towards a commonoutcome.8. Reinforce ability to work and learn independently. 2Subject StructureStudents are expected to attend [how many] lectures.The Subject’s timetable is as follows:Lecture time and location: [lecture time] [location]List of lectures Lecture No. Topic Instructional delivery methods PART 1.
