This course will
introduce the students to a wide array of research methods used in the various
disciplines of the natural and social sciences. ENS 196 will show the students
how these disciplinary methods can be incorporated into an interdisciplinary
research in environment and resource management. This course provides the
theoretical and practical knowledge required by Environmental Science students
to undertake independent research. The conceptual and technical aspects of
research and all the various phases of the research process will be discussed
over the course of the semester. This course is designed to guide the
Environmental Science students
during the preparation of their research proposal
and the actual conduct of their thesis either in the laboratory room or in
the field.
