Undergraduate Education

Posted by kearneyg • 1 hour 49 min ago

Hello educators! I'm proposing an undergrad honors course that would include phenology at my university and looking for examples of weekly activities and assignments.  Would anyone be willing to share or post a copy of their course syllabus? Many thanks!

In collaboration with several wonderful co-authors, I delivered a presentation at the Botany 2026 meeting where I highlighted several examples of how instructors have incorporated phenology data collection and/or analysis into undergraduate courses. The examples include the work of Kim Quillan (Salisbury Univ), Tiffany Schreiver (Western Mich U), and Emily Mohl (St Olaf College).

Hi All,

Here is a resource that might be useful if you are contemplating how to fold phenology observing and/or data analysis into your teaching. This chapter is a compilation of many approaches of various scales and utilizing different platforms. Thanks to all of the co-authors that shared their experiences here!

This chapter is excerpted from M.D. Schwartz (ed.), Phenology: An Integrative Environmental Science, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-75027-4_27
