Undergraduate Education

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
