Graduate Program GLIER GRADUATE COURSES Both GLIER Ph.D. and M.Sc. students are required to take the GLIER Multidisciplinary Graduate Seminar course and the GLIER Environmental Research Proposal course. All Ph.D. students must take the Multiple Stressors and Environmental Modelling course; M.Sc. students may also take the course. Other courses may be mandated through an Advisory Committee to remedy students’ perceived background deficiencies. 09-68-550 GLIER Multidisciplinary Graduate Seminar Required of all students The course is team-taught by GLIER and other faculty who will organize seminar modules in their area of research expertise. Modules include external speakers and encompass lectures and discussions to help students develop an understanding of the interconnectedness of environmental research and its role in developing ecosystem-based management decisions that affect large lakes and their watersheds. Students participate in discussions, prepare and deliver critiques of seminars, and present a seminar. (2 lecture hours per week; 2 semesters; 3 credits each semester). After receiving a grade in this course, students are required to attend seminars as long as they are registered in the program. 09-68-570 Environmental Research Proposal Required of all M.Sc. students The course develops proposal and grant writing skills and engages students in exercises typical of those required by major funding agencies. Students will prepare an original research proposal based on their research topic and defend it publicly and before their Advisory Committee. (2 hours per week; 1 semester; 3 credits) 09-68-670 Environmental Research Proposal Required of all Ph.D. students The course develops proposal and grant writing skills and engages students in exercises typical of those required by major funding agencies. Students will prepare an original research proposal based on their research topic and defend it publicly and before their Advisory Committee. (2 hours per week; 1 semester; 3 credits) 09-68-680 Multiple Stressors and Environmental Modelling Required of all Ph.D. students, may also be taken by master’s students The course develops an understanding of the impact of interactive, multiple stressors on large watersheds and lakes. Stressors will include chemical contaminants, nutrient enrichment, species invasions, climate change, population harvesting, and land use changes. Students will model how single and interactive stressors affect large lakes and their watersheds. (2 lecture hours per week; 1 semester; 3 credits) 09-68-797 Master’s Thesis 09-68-798 Doctoral Dissertation Other existing courses in university departments may be taken by students to remedy academic deficiencies or broaden academic background. |
