I used this module in a small (12 students) introductory Ecology course for undergraduate Biology majors. We met once a week for three hours. I used this module because it was possible to adapt using local (Puerto Rico) data, making it more relevant. It also involved several major learning objectives like formulating hypotheses, designing experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and interpreting data. I have included Instructor Notes that describe how I modified and supplemented the module with additional assignments to introduce the terminology as well as to extend and relate the discussion to broader concepts previously covered (like climate change).
Included here are:
- Instructor notes on what I modified, followed, and what I will change in future implementations of this module.
- Pre-exercise assignment
- Short introductory presentation reviewing terminology
- Modified data entry excel file and modified data analysis file.
- Post-exercise assignment
Demography from physical cemeteries, “virtual cemeteries,” and census data
