  1. Biology 484 – Ethology Portions of Chapters 4 & 5 – The Group Learning Experience “The Control & Organization of Behavior”

  2. On February 19, 2009 we held a “group learning experience” in class where we worked in small groups to teach ourselves specific information in animal behavior from chapters 4 & 5. This exercise was conducted to give you the chance to model a very common approach to learning that is often used in professional and graduate schools in science. These are the slides that were worked on during this exercise. In another file (484 GLE.pdf), I have combined the notes written by each group and lightly edited the contents for clarity and accuracy. Together, these two documents should allow you to understand the material covered during this class period.
