  • TSL 5525: Cross Cultural Communication and Understanding

    3.00 Credits
    The University of West Florida

    This course is designed to provide teachers of English language learners (ELLs) with the fundamentals of cultural issues that come into play in their professional lives as teachers of culturally and linguistically diverse learners. The complexity of the concept of "culture" and common approaches related to intercultural communication and competence are addressed. Culture is analyzed and its role is examined in second language learning and teaching. Intercultural communication principles will be applied to working in diverse settings and strategies for fostering positive learning environments are evaluated. Students are encouraged to reflect on their personal cultures and their own views of other cultures as part of their analyses of cross-cultural communication and understanding in the teaching of languages.

  • ZOO 3558: Coral Reefs

    3.00 Credits
    The University of West Florida

    Coral Reefs is a non-biology major course designed to provide a general overview of tropical and sub-tropical coral reefs to students with an interest in these fascinating ecosystems, but who lack a strong theoretical background in the biological sciences. Covers basic concepts dealing with the structure, formation, biology and ecology of Atlantic and Pacific coral reefs. Students will be presented with interactive exercises, projects, and module-assessments throughout the course that will reinforce major biological concepts and promote critical thinking.

  • ZOO 4472: Avian Science

    3.00 Credits
    The University of West Florida

    Avian Science is a course that describes and provides experience in the study of birds in order to answer questions about their basic ecology, with special emphasis on techniques for data collection and data management typically associated with research and monitoring of bird populations. Topics include species identification (visual and by song), movements and migration, habitat selection, foraging behavior, reproduction and nesting ecology, and demography (estimating survival, population size, nest success). Avian Science emphasizes S.T.E.M education, covering aspects of science, engineering, technology, and math important to many areas of ecology. Many of the techniques and concepts taught in this course, especially the sections on movements and spatial ecology, habitat selection, and demography, apply to fauna other than birds. Bird identification and survey experiences focus on species found on the UWF campus and on wintering waterfowl in local estuaries. The course consists of approximately 1/3 lectures and discussion, 1/3 laboratory exercise, and 1/3 field experiences. The class meets once per week for 2.75 hours. In addition, participation in one supervised day long (approximately12-hrs) bird survey is required outside of normal class time, and may need to take place on a weekend (depending on survey schedule and weather). A one weekend field trip is required in this course, and students are expected to have the ability to hike and do field work. Graduate students will be assigned additional work.
