I have a letter assignment due tonight. Has anyone tyaken this course Addresses Course Outcomes 1-2: Your assignment is to write a formal letter about a wildlife conservation or management issue. The letter may deal with either a real or fictional situation, but it should be a significant concern and should be handled in a serious (not humorous) way, demonstrating your understanding of the ecological and policy issues involved and reflecting your understanding as developed in your assigned readings. You will need to get my approval of your topic because I want to be sure that you will be able to find adequate source information. Any number of topics may be used for your letter, for instance: The letter should be 1 Β 3 pages long, letter formatΒ (even though you would not ordinarily include references in a letter). The references will not count toward the page length requirement. Letter grading rub
ric will be provided in the classroom under Assignments. The discussion component of your letter assignment will ask you to explain why you chose the topic of your letter. Why is it important to speak out on this issue? You will need to explain the nature of your letter and the controversy you are addressing in light of the scientific understanding you are developing about wildlife ecology and human relationships with nature. Your main discussion posting to the letter discussion is due by 11:59 p.m ET on the due date listed in the course schedule. However, please make every effort to post by Thursday that week to allow a few days for others to read and respond to your letter comments by the end of the week. Note that I expect a well-developed reply, which usually means a few paragraphs. Points for letter discussion comments will be awarded based on the criteria established for discussion comment evaluation.
