Through lectures and active-learning group workshops students will learn about the classification and diversity of plant families with an emphasis on flowering plants native to the Pacific Northwest. Virtual plant identification labs will serve as a foundation for students to work through dichotomous keys to identify an unknown plant and for students to develop fluency in plant identification terminology. Weekly quizzes will help students assess their growing knowledge. By the end of the quarter, students will have the skills to identity 20 plant families by sight, which will be assessed via a final sight recognition exam.<\/p>\n<p>Students will have the option to enroll in up to 4 additional credits (for 8 total) to deepen their explorations of topics in plant ecology and plant conservation. Students enrolled in the 8-credit option will write a research paper on a topic in plant conservation, restoration and management, or a PNW ecosystem or plant species of interest. This paper may incorporate self-guided field work and\/or primary literature research. This portion of the program will also include asynchronous plant conservation seminar discussions based in the peer-reviewed literature, popular media including documentaries, podcasts and more.<\/p>\n<p>To successfully participate in this program, students will need a computer and reliable high-speed internet. Examples of remote technology that will be used include Zoom, Canvas, YouTube and iNaturalist. Students can expect a blend of 8-16 hours a week (depending on whether you are taking the 4- or 8-credit option) of asynchronous and 3 hours a week of synchronous class time in Zoom.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"field__item\">\n<p class=\"conditions\"><strong><span style=\"color: revert;font-size: revert\">Course Reference Numbers<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"field__item\">\n<p class=\"crn-details odd\">So &#8211;
