OCN 220
Ocean 220 is an experiental course in which you will practice the scientific method from A-Z. During spring break, we will convene in the San Juans to plan our research. Then we will cruise aboard one of the UW's research ships for 1-3 days collecting data. After this, you will finish up post-cruise lab work, interpret your findings, and write a research paper focussing on your efforts. This class has been called 'the most work I ever loved to do' by a previous year's students. This course is a requirement for oceanography majors and is strongly advised for all students studying geology, fisheries, oceanography, environmental biology and civil engineering. Ocean 220 will be offered in Spring 2009.
