Welcome to the Department of Tropical Biology!

Start the page name for a department with the "Topic:" prefix; departments reside in the Topic: namespace. Wikiversity departments can be "contained" (linked to) by multiple schools.

Tropical biology is concerned with the study of life in the tropical regions of our world as well as concerns about the impacts of human existence upon these regions through deforestation, global warming and an exploding human population among others.

[edit] Learning materials and learning projects

Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.

• ...

Our department is closely integrated with the School of Biology and therefore students will benefit most from study in the other departments as well as the Department of Tropical Biology.

For mastery in Tropical Biology, students are expected to complete the following learning projects:

[edit] Core Series

• TROBIO 10 - Biogeography and Climate
• TROBIO 20 - Tropical Animal Diversity
• TROBIO 30 - Tropical Plant Diversity
• TROBIO 40 - Human Impact on the Tropics
• TROBIO 50 - Conservation Efforts

Participants in this department are encouraged to pursue study of elective topics that best suit their interests.

Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!

Remember, Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. We learn by doing.
