See attached.

Curriculum Fit

This course will accompany EEES 4720, which is an elective course for upper division science majors. 

Similarity to Other

Courses

This course does not duplicate material covered in another course.  The content and format of the proposed class will differ from that of Biol 4320.  The main goal of this class is to give students an in depth familiarity with taxa of freshwater invertebrates that occur in the Great Lakes basin.  Further, students will devote much of their effort towards an individual hypotheses-testing project that involves freshwater invertebrates.  Alternatively, Biol 4320 is a broad survey of all invertebrate taxa.
