and

Students will work with a faculty member to study an environmental topic.
The student should contact the faculty member and the instructor of record as
early as possible to discuss potential topics and projects. The student
will then submit a written project proposal to the instructor of record within
the first two weeks of the semester which must be signed by the student, the
faculty supervisor and the instructor of record. Project formats may vary
from library research to field work to laboratory work to community work, but
will all culminate in the writing of a formal report which should be at least 10
pages in length. See Dr. Bollinger for further information.
