Determining the course grade: 25% - Midterm 25% - Final 30% - 10 abstracts. Each one must be a minimum of 300 and not exceed 500 words in length. 20% - 2 oral presentations Writing an abstract: The abstract is based on internet research of a question supplied by the presenter. Examples of faculty-generated abstracts can be found on Courseworks. Each student is required to submit 10 abstracts by e-mail to their TA. They will be graded and returned ASAP by e-mail. One of three grades will be given: Good, Fair, Poor. Three internet sites are required to be used for all 10 abstracts:

  • www. http://ci.columbia.edu/ci/eseminars/1111s_detail.html

www.EPA.gov and one other.gov site – e.g., www.USDA.gov; www.NIH.gov; www.CDC.gov; www.NOAA.gov; www.USGS.gov
