In addition to some general fun and professional resources, I have links to my course home pages. The pages for Principles of Ecology and Vertebrate Zoology (200-level, lecture-only courses often taught in large lecture format) include (1) a general home page with specific course-related links as well as more general areas of interest; (2) an on-line syllabus and (3) an on-line study guide, consisting of a comprehensive set of questions from which exam questions are derived. The page for our Undergraduate Seminar course (a 400-level capstone course) currently consists of the syllabus, which contains a full description of the course as well as general tips on technical writing and giving oral presentations.

Jonathan Monroe, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA

I have assembled this homepage so it can be used as a resource for searching

information about my courses taught at Saint Anselm College, information for students' assignments and exercises in my courses, my research interests and my personal interests. There are also sections with general information on recycling on campus and the community of Goffstown, neotropical migrant bird conservation in New Hampshire, local Audubon Society events and recent bird sightings. I would appreciate any comments you might have. Send them to me at jpitocch@anselm.edu
