5 | Community Ecology | Zoology | 594 | 5 | B. Menge | Winter (alternate years) | Y | http://catalog.oregonstate.edu/CourseList.aspx?subjectcode=Z&level=grad&campus=corvallis | Great class! It's mainly marine based, but there's a lot of opportunity for discussion on ecological theory and conservation. | |||||||||||||||||
6 | Landscape Ecology | Forest Science | M. Betts | Fall | Y | Some basic concepts, but small class size and a wide range of tools and techniques presented in labs | I took this class my 1st semester and didn't feel like I got much out of it at the time. However, a few terms later I found myself reading papers and thinking that without this course I probably wouldn't have understood them. It paid off in the long term. | I enjoyed the course, and Matt provides an excellent selection of foundation papers in landscape ecology. However, I am a little reluctant to give the class a strong recommendation since the labs need to be updated, and your experience in the course is going to be largely dictated by the other students in the class (lots of discussion). | Labs have been updated and provide code in R (Fall 2019) | |||||||||||||||||

12 | Trophic Cascades | Fish&Wildlife | hi | 2-3 (additional project for 3 credits) | Bill Ripple | Spring | Y | http://catalog.oregonstate.edu/CourseDetail.aspx?subjectcode=FW&coursenumber=547 | Taught with the Forestry Science department. Very interesting class focusing on studying trophic cascades from the bottom up and top down. Also, taught by one of the top reseachers of trophic cascade theory. | I didn't get much out of this class, it's very basic. It's a very easy course and very repetitive. | ||||||||||||||||

If you've never had a conservation class, this may be worth it. I thought the discussions were fantastic at least. Also, be warned that tests are mostly on rote memorization. | |||||||||||||||||

21 | Ecological Restoration | Fish&Wildlife, Forest Ecosystems & Society | 445 | 4 | B. Kauffman, C. Eisenberg | Spring | Course not all that useful to grads in its current form.

Trempe | Winter? | Y | This is a special topics course, but someone blogged about it: http://cemigh.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/teaching-philosophy-part-2/ | This seminar-type course is designed to help you become a more effective teacher in the sciences (or in any field). Well worth the time. -- Addendum: one of the best classes I've taken at OSU as someone who hopes to teach at the college level. It focuses on teaching adult learner (college students) | |||||||||||||||||
31 | Theories of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education* | GRAD | 560 | 3 | J. Beck | Fall | *All of these starred GRAD courses are part of the Graduate Certificate in College and University Teaching (GCCUT) offered by OSU to those interested in getting diving into how to effectively teach adult learners. http://gradschool.oregonstate.edu/gccut | I really enjoyed this course (the first one in the GCCUT series) because it offered a wide array of information on research into how people learn and how to translate that into effective teaching strategies. I highly recommend for those planning on continuing on to be professors! I really like knowing some of the education jargon and being able to voice my opinion on different teaching styles and I feel like it will help me in future job interviews. For as long as I'm here, I'm happy to talk to you about the GCCUT program (email allyson.jackson@oregonstate.edu) | ||||||||||||||||||
