Portfolio of Graduate Coursework

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.
