==Course Objectives== | |||
This course will introduce participants to the field of citizen science. Citizen science covers many aspects of public participation in scientific research and these will be explored through class discussion of shared readings, guest lectures by (and conversations with) experts in the field, explorations and assessments of existing projects, development of a 1-page methods section for engaging citizen scientists in a student's research, and a field trip. Practical considerations of citizen science will be discussed within the broader context of developed and emerging practices in the field. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to (1) evaluate and develop citizen science projects, (2) integrate the work of citizen scientists into their own research, and (3) be conversant in the latest citizen science literature and topics. | |||
