WFSC 304, Wildlife & Fisheries Conservation Review of project / presentation guidance(Spring 2021) I discussed the presentations in Week 8—first few minutes in lecture file ‘21. wfsc 304 (2021) - wk 8, lec video 11 - Threats III.mp4’ (course page link)The guidance/grading rubric is Word file ‘WFSC 304 (2021) Rubric - Student project oral presentation.docx’ (course page link)Shortcuts to the two example presentations on the course page are here (MP3) and here (WMV video)Below is the text from the syllabus updated to reflect the live presentation format. To accommodate presentations from everyone, I went to the standard 90-second format for rapidfire presentations.Rapid-fire PresentationWeek 126-AprTuesch. 11,138-AprThursEcological restoration, establishing new populationsWeek 1313-AprTues Release time for projects - Class does not meet--15-AprThursLive presentations; Zoom per normal classch. 12, Week 1420-AprTues strategies for protected areas; policy; culture15-1722-AprThursEcological restoration II -- approaches; jobs;?Week 1527-AprTues case studies (China’s afforestation; Everglades, etc.)ch. 1929-AprThurs recent and trending solutions?Week 166-MayThursExam 3 (8-10:30 am)--Students will individually choose and develop a relevant topic that was not covered or scheduled to be covered in lectures, unless said lecture coverage is sparse (undetailed). Topic choice should center on a concept or general problem and not a single case study or organism. For example, one might choose the ‘extinction vortex’ as a topic but not ‘extinction of golden toads’ or ‘restoration of wolves to Yellowstone’. If you are unsure about the relevance or overlap of a topic with lecture material, please consult Dr. DeWitt.The selected topic is to be researched and synthesized into an exposition of relevant data and concepts in 5-minute video with visual aids. a 90 second live presentation to the class. Visual aids may be in presentation software (e.g. PowerPoint or Prezi) or whiteboard, etc., are not recommended--just ensure your verbiage is vivid and clearly informs the topic. Videos may be recorded with online freeware such as Screen-Cast-O-Matic or Zoom, or with a smartphone if it can be made clear and compelling. Videos will be uploaded to a Blogger page I will set up as a closed blog (accessible only to our class). Or students may put their video on YouTube and place a link on the course blog.A reference list of sources for information presented should be kept in case I call for it in the presentation (e.g. final frame) or posted in the video description or comments section. It is expected that at least five good (primary or reputable popular science literature) sources will have been consulted.Reminder of the closing calendar:Presentation order is reverse-alphabetical by last name:Avery (i.e. Avery is up first, having the highest alphabetical-rank last name)JonathanAmarianiAlexanderBradleyDianeIvanAutumnAllisonDivyaDylanAnnaShelbyLilyRhapsedeKaitlynGrantRyanTaylorFaithJulietJustinKimberlyCharisEmmaAmandaAndrewJakeChaseReeceMattMasonJoshNickKalynDrakeGarrettChaseJacquelineAnissaBrittanyEvanStephenLeonni ................
