This page contains papers, notes, exams, presentations,
and images that were created as part of my coursework
at UNC-Chapel Hill. Where possible, the original problem
statements or assignments are provided, followed by
my responses.
These materials are provided openly for educational
use, to give visitors an idea of what I accomplished
in the nearly 4 years I was in the UNC ecology graduate
program. I actually started out in a doctoral program
and decided to leave with a M.S. in Ecology, so I have
more coursework and research experience than the average
2-year master's student. Below is what I accomplished
in earning my degree.
