Note from the TIEE Editors — Making a Hand-out for Your Students:

Feel free to use the PDF's linked above, whole or in part, to tailor an unique handout for your students. Here are two contrasting examples:

• If you want to take students into the field "cold" so they could make their own observations, the only information you might give ahead of time could be a list of necessary field clothes. After the trip (and explanation/experiences in the field ), you could give students a shorter hand-out containing:
• Overview (includes Overview written for students, references and some links)
• Lab Objectives
• What Is Due
• Guidelines for Research Papers/Presentations (using links and examples, and including assessents)
• In contrast, if you want students to be more fully prepared for an upcoming lab or field trip ahead of time, you could give them a longer hand-out that includes:
• Overview, Principle Ecological Questions Addressed
• Lab Objectives and other Summary Information
• Full Lab Description (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Data Analyses, etc.)
• What Is Due
• Questions for Further Thought
• Guidelines for Research Papers/Presentations (using links and examples, and including assessents)
