Independent Study in Entomology involves research work under direct faculty guidance. Students arrange the specific work and credits with their supervising instructor.
Second semester of individual study for undergraduate Honors students completing a thesis in Entomology. Students review literature, apply research methodologies, and write a thesis based on original research.
A graduate-level entomology colloquium featuring weekly speakers from diverse careers to expose students to current research and foster professional networking.
Survey course on insects' role in the environment, covering beneficial species, disease carriers, agricultural pests affecting food supply, and environmental issues from control agents.
Sean Schoville's course featured weekly writing assignments, a mini-documentary, online quizzes, and a moth-raising project, with no midterm or final exam. Students found the work flexible but substantial, noting that achieving an A required maintaining a 95% score across these consistent deliverables.
Molecular Ecology covers basic principles including population genetics, molecular phylogenetics, rates and patterns of evolution, genome evolution, and molecular ecology.
Sean Schoville taught the course using written answer exams that one student found very subjective. That reviewer described the exams as hard, reported being graded lower than the average, and stated that the instructor promised but did not curve for undergraduates. They advised undergraduates to avoid the class.
