When this course is taught as a split level, additional requirements for graduate students: Graduate students in the course will be required to read a conservation-focused monograph, such as Paige West's Conservation is our Government Now and to meet with the instructor outside of class to discuss the book. Graduate students will collaborate to produce and deliver a lecture on the book for their undergraduate classmates. Each graduate student will also produce a 25-page term paper (rather than the 12-15 page required for undergraduates) and will give a 30- minute lecture on their topic (rather than a 10-minute conference-style presentation for undergraduates).
