[NHCOLL-L:62] museum science course

[Jeff Davis]

I'm putting together a proposal to teach a museum science course in our
department.  The course will focus on preparation techniques for
vertebrates, plants, and insects.  Because our department's mission
emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to environmental problem solving,
I will also introduce the topic of the role and importance of museums in
society.  My proposal, which I'll be presenting to our curriculum committee
in the next month, must include a course syllabus plus syllabi from similar
courses taught at other universities.  If you have taught or taken a
similar course, I'd be grateful if you could send me (electronically or
otherwise) a syllabus from the course.  I'd also be interested to hear
about what worked and what didn't for you as the instructor or student.

Best regards,

Jeff
