Classes begin a week from today! Have you registered, yet? Find information in the rest of this message and at http://nres.illinois.edu/current_online/courses.
You have a wide range of course options available to you this fall. We are extremely pleased to be able to add NRES 500 NRES Seminar to our online offerings. Every semester, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences hosts a weekly seminar series in which we host scientists conducting a wide array of NRES-related research to present to us followed by lively discussion, review, and critical analysis. This is an asynchronous one credit hour course. Students will watch recordings of the presentations and discussions online and write responses. You can repeat NRES 500 and count up to two hours of it toward your degree.
Students who are newly admitted to the program should be sure to enroll in NRES 594 Professional Orientation.
NRES is offering:
- NRES 401 Watershed Hydrology (Dr. McIsaac)
- NRES 416 Forest Biology (Dr. Dawson)
- NRES 439 Environment & Sustainable Development (Dr. Endress)
- NRES 499 Human Dimensions of Exotic Species (Dr. Sandiford)
