Special Projects (choose
at least 50 pts worth)
The intersection of plants and people offers so
much of interest, but we can only touch on certain subjects and
aspects in class or through your writing-intensive assignments.
Therefore, we have created a series of mini-projects that allow
you to choose and explore some other aspects of Economic Botany.
There are 50 required points (see grading info) and each project
will be worth between 10 – 20 points (depending on the project).
