For each type of forest assessment activity, students will be required to hand in data collection and analysis forms. For each social research activity, students will be required to hand in survey/interviews/focus group data collection and data analysis forms.

This course will expand the Geography offerings in our department.
What financial costs are associated with this request?
None.
