We will do exercises with them on PCs and bring the graphed results to class for discussion throughout the semester.2] To develop your own skills in systems analysis, I want each student to try a first conceptual layout of an ecosystem analysis problem of their choice, with logic flowchart, key cause-effect linkages and references. This class project will be the basis for our "final", as each student will present their project to the class verbally, and in written form to me.
