> Course Description
> Problem Analysis in Urban Ecology focuses on understanding ecological
> issues in urban ecosystems. The course will: (a) examine and evaluate
> how different disciplines study resource and environmental issues; (b)
> explore criteria for conducting and evaluating quality research; (c)
> develop skills in analysis and problem formulation, critiquing, working
> patterns and communication; (d) sharpen proposal writing skills, and (e)
> design interdisciplinary research projects. Students will learn how to
> frame, define and tackle urban ecological problems. Invited
> representatives from the private and public sector and non-governmental
> organizations will present proposals to the class, seeking assistance
> with their high-priority problems. Students work in teams with the
> faculty to translate the problems into interdisciplinary research
> proposals.  Each team will analyze one problem in detail to develop a
> research proposal.  The class culminates with an NSF-panel-style
> "hearing" where merits and limitations of each proposal are discussed
> and one or two proposals are selected for further development.
