Lecture Material
This class will be devoted
to a research paper written by the students. Each student is to
pick a different fishery and do a research paper on it. Depending
on class size some students may end up with the same fishery. Make
sure this is limited to as few students as possible. Once the students
have found a fishery and okay it with you they are to use the Internet
and the library to find sources to write their research paper. Make
sure the students work on their own, this exercise is to teach them
how to find pertinent information on their topic. Once their research
is completed they should show you what they have found. This will
enable you to see that they did the work and to see if they have
the right information to start their research paper. Give them a
week or so to complete the paper. You can leave time during future
classes for students to ask questions to make sure they are on the
right track.
