Remote Life Science Course

Caption

Students in Erin Morrison's Liberal Studies' Life Science course introduced themselves on the first day of class by displaying photos of their favorite plants from their home areas--an exercise that captured the similarities and differences among species of plants found around the world while also expanding the classroom experience to include students' different locales. They included California redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) from San Francisco, elegant zinnia (Zinnia elegans) from Washington, D.C., heartleaf philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum) from Miami, and green bristlegrass (Setaria viridis) from Seoul, South Korea.
