Note from the TIEE Editors - Making a Hand-out for Your Students:

      Feel free to use the PDF's linked above whole or in part to tailor an unique handout for your students. Here are two contrasting examples:

* If you want to take students into the field "cold" so they could make their own observations, the only information you might give ahead of time could be a list of necessary field clothes. After the trip (and explanation/ experiences in the field ), you could give students a shorter hand-out containing:


- Overview (includes Overview written for students, references and some links)
- Lab Objectives
- What Is Due
- Guidelines for Research Papers/ Presentations (using links and examples, and including assessents)

* In contrast, if you want students to be more fully prepared for an upcoming lab or field trip ahead of time, you could give them a longer hand-out that includes:


- Overview, Principle Ecological Questions Addressed
- Lab Objectives and other Summary Information
- Full Lab Description (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Data Analyses, etc.)
- What Is Due
- Questions for Further Thought
- Guidelines for Research Papers/ Presentations (using links and examples, and including assessents)
