GG 354 Principal Vegetation Cover &Typical Wildlife of The Region Case Study
Each student will choose a northern community (e.g., Old Crow, Yukon) on which to conduct a
case study. As we work through the different lessons in this course, you will be asked to
research and find information related to the lecture topic and your chosen community (e.g.,
geology of the area, vegetation, population structure). The case study assignments will be
marked for completion. Your answers should be 500 words or less. There are 10 case study
assignments. If you complete the requested tasks you will get the associated 3%, if you do not
you will receive a zero. The links from the lecture notes provide great resources for helping you
to complete the case study assignment tasks.
Each case study assignment is due by the end of the week (Sunday at 11:59pm) that they are
associated with to the MyLearningSpace dropbox.
