Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review Class 1: Take a general view of the course’s overall content based on the summary handout.
Classes 2-3: Review the differences between ocean and land biospheres both before and after class.
Classes 4-7: Review the diversity of phytoplankton evolution, their unique classification scheme, and the characteristics of their reproduction both before and after class.
Class 8: Look up actual examples of damage and issues related to it. (There will be a report.)
Classes 9-11: Review the differences in the grazing food chain both before and after class.
Classes 12-14: Consider the connection of phytoplankton production to fish production, and review zooplankton’s key role in transporting things to the deep ocean both before and after class.
Class 15: Consider the ocean and Earth’s environment from the basis of planktology. (There will be a report.)

Requirements

Grading Method Comprehensive evaluation will be based approximately 10% on reports and 80% on the end-of-semester exam. Those who actively fill out the question sheets distributed in class will be judged to be earnestly engaging in the course. These students’ end-of-semester exam grades may be increased by several points in some cases.
