Instructors' Note
A student in Forest Ecology (fall 2003) at Georgetown University (GU), Washington, D.C., produced this report as an individual class project which had a limit of about 25 hours.
Goals of the course projects included:
(1) learning about a relatively natural forest (Glover-Archbold Park which is adjacent to Georgetown University, in Washington, D.C.), the "open urban forest" of GU Campuses, and the "urban forest" in residential neighborhoods near GU.
(2) learning about the scientific process while working on a hands-on field project.
(3) learning about answering scientific questions and testing hypotheses.
(4) providing information about these subjects to interested parties via the Internet.
These are short projects that lay groundwork for further investigation in their respective areas.
Therefore, these are pilot projects.
The first emphasis was on working with the scientific process, and the second emphasis was on conclusively answering questions (or conclusively testing hypotheses) as the allotted time allowed.
To see all of the 2003 online projects, please use the keyword “FE2003R” on this Website.
Projects of future Forest Ecology students might continue lines of investigation of these and past projects.
