biological and especially chemical processes in fresh waters.
(Includes laboratory and
fieldwork.) Prerequisites: CHEM 145, 236; ENVR 241. See
department chair.
1b. Delete: On page
89, the entry for BIOL 321:
321 Limnology
(ENVR 321) (4)
Introduction to biology of major fresh water habitats.
Involves determination of primary floral and faunal elements and physiochemical
properties of these habitats. Prerequisite: BIOL 115. Even years Fall.
2. Delete: On page
143, the entry for ENVR 350:
350 Dendrology
(4)
Identification, ecological

Impact: Minimal
Rationale:
Both Limnology and Dendrology were taught by
professors no longer on the Environmental Studies faculty. Significant content
of those courses will be covered in Stream Ecology (currently being proposed)
and Woody Plants (will be taught as a special topics course in spring 2009) by
current faculty.
