Course Objectives

This course is designed to introduce you to a variety of sampling concepts and the analysis techniques associated with those concepts. A prerequisite of any resource management is the quantification of the resource. We will discuss how various sampling techniques can be applied to several resource disciplines. You will be learning how to design samples to answer your questions about the amount, location, and distribution of your resource.

This is a dynamic page, listing current information about the course, and will grow throughout the semester.

Special Needs (ADA) Statement - If you need accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical information to share with me, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please inform me immediately. Please see me privately after class, or at my office.

To request academic accommodations (for example, a note taker or extended time on exams), students must also register with the Office of Disability Services (http://disabilityservices.missouri.edu), S5 Memorial Union, 882-4696. It is the campus office responsible for reviewing documentation provided by students requesting academic accommodations, and for accommodations planning in cooperation with students and instructors, as needed and consistent with course requirements. For other MU resources for students with disabilities, click on "Disability Resources" on the MU homepage.

Academic Dishonesty Policy - Academic honesty is fundamental to the activities and principles of a university. All members of the academic community must be confident that each person's work has been responsibly and honorably acquired, developed, and presented. Any effort to gain an advantage not given to all students is dishonest whether or not the effort is successful. The academic community regards academic dishonesty as an extremely serious matter, with serious consequences that range from probation to expulsion. When in doubt about plagiarism, paraphrasing, quoting, or collaboration, consult the course instructor.
