Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

1. Arrive at a deep understanding of fungal ecology with a focus on community, ecosystem, and population ecology.
2. Have a basic appreciation for mycology, including fungal growth, reproduction, and systematics.
3. Have a general overview of the main methods used in fungal ecology and why certain methods are employed.
4. Improve research (e.g., how to find and evaluate peer reviewed literature), writing (e.g., writing short essays), and presentation (e.g., group presentations) skills.

Assessment and permitted materials

1. Evaluation will be based on class participation (25%), problem sets (25%), short essays (25%), and the final presentation (25%).
2. The course will not have any exams.
3. While any aid can be used for the course, the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) should not be used to arrive at final conclusions for the problem sets nor short essays. Direct copy and pasting of generative AI outputs will be not be accepted. While you may use generative AI for research purposes, you must disclosure how you used it in each submitted assignment (e.g., I used chatGPT to get an introduction to fungal mating types, and this allowed me to ask more specific questions in google scholar to arrive at an answer to the problem set).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

1. It is required to attend class and participate in discussions. You cannot pass the course if you miss too many classes. There is no firm rule on how many classes one can miss because this depends on the circumstance.
2. You must give a final presentation. You will not pass the course if you do not give a final presentation.
3. At least half of the problem sets and short essays must be turned in to pass.

Examination topics

There are no exam in this course.

Reading list

Literature for achieving the above learning objectives will be provided on the course syllabus. There will be no need to purchase a textbook.
