The course is being offered in partnership with the Santa Barbara Zoological Gardens and the Los Angeles Zoo. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: Describe the roles of biology, business, economics and education within the zoo. Analyze the interactions of biology, business, economics and education in a zoo. This analysis will include the ways that these disciplines complement and conflict with one another. Reflect in written and oral form on the zoo as a social institution and the role of the zoo in contemporary society. Describe the processes of collecting and displaying flora and fauna in zoos. Analyze the development of a zoo collection. Describe the effects of the macroeconomy on a zoo. Describe microeconomic issues facing zoos. Evaluate the business and management practices of zoos including marketing and public relations. Analyze ethical issues in managing a zoo. Analyze current trends in zoos. Analyze the educational services offered by zoos and reflect on possibilities for new projects. Analyze how the educational projects of zoos are connected to what children learn in schools. Synthesize knowledge and information by developing a proposal for a new zoo exhibition. Prerequisites and Other Information- There are no prerequisites for this course. It is an upper division category D general education course. Textbooks and Other Materials- There is no textbook for this course. There may be hand-outs or other course materials distributed during the course. There are materials that have been placed on reserve for this course in the library. Course Format- Weekly Journal- A weekly journal entry is required for ten of the twelve weeks in which there are presentations. Each weeks journal entry shall be based on the presentation(s) from that weeks class session and must contain the following two components: A one to two paragraph reflective essay on which of the courses learning outcomes were addressed by the presentation(s), and the insights that you have developed regarding those learning outcomes; A one to two paragraph essay describing how the class session might influence (if at all) your term project. Journal entries will be graded both on content and presentation. Journal entries lacking depth of thought or analysis will not be granted credit. For example, a description of the topics addressed by the presenters will not be sufficient to earn credit. Your journal entries should be in the form of short essays. This means that they should be composed of thoughtful paragraphs constructed from complete sentences. Journal entries that contain excessive grammatical and spelling errors will not receive credit. It is recommended that journal entries be composed using word processing software (like Microsoft Word) to minimize grammatical and spelling errors. Each weeks journal entry must be submitted via Blackboard prior to the class session the following week. Late journal entries will not be accepted. You may not submit a journal entry if you did not attended the class session. Satisfactory journal entries will earn two points. As you will see below under Course Grading, the weekly journal is worth a total of 20 points of your course grade. If you submit more than 10 journal entries (13 are possible), you will earn extra credit points. Thus it will be possible to earn up to 26 points for the weekly journal. Examinations- There will be two examinations. Each examination will be one hour in length and will consist of 30 multiple-choice questions. The first examination is tentatively scheduled for Friday, March 7 at the Santa Barbara Zoo and the second examination will be held on Friday, May 16 at 91Ƶ during the final exam period for this course. Both exams will be comprehensive, and will cover topics from the beginning of class. The examinations will focus on the learning outcomes for the course and the main topics from the class presentations. Students will need a Scantron Form 882 for each exam. Students will be allowed to bring one, 8.5 by 11 page of notes to the examinations. Term Paper- There is a required term paper for this course. In this paper you will compare and contrast an exhibit at the Santa Barbara Zoo (SB Zoo) with a like exhibit at another zoo (for example, you could compare and contrast the lion exhibit at the SB Zoo with the lion exhibit at the San Diego Zoo). You are free to select any exhibit at the SB Zoo for your analysis. Furthermore, you may select a like exhibit at any other zoo for the purposes of this paper (hint: you may want to compare and contrast like exhibits at the SB Zoo and Los Angeles Zoo as we will be visiting both zoos during the course). Regardless of the second zoo selected, you must actually attend the zoo so that you can observe the exhibit first-hand. As is the case with the term project (see below), you will want to address the many facets of the exhibit (for example, how does the exhibit meet the needs of the animal, is the exhibit safe for the animal, guests and zoo employees, what is the theme of the exhibit, and the like). Although there is no restriction on the length of the term paper, you will be able to earn full credit with a 3 to 5 page, typed, double-spaced paper. The term paper is due on Friday, May 2. Absolutely no late papers will be accepted. You will also have the option of submitting a first draft of your term paper on Friday, April 18. Papers submitted at this time will be read and returned to you with comments so that you can resubmit your paper by the Friday, May 2, due date. Your completed paper must be accompanied by a printed map from the zoo you visited for the purposes of this assignment. Only original maps are acceptable; maps downloaded from the Internet or other types of copies will not be accepted. Term Project- There is a required term team project for this course. For this project, a team consisting of a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 students will create and present a proposal for a new exhibit at the SB Zoo. Your objective is to create and present an exhibit proposal that reflects and promotes the mission and goals of the SB Zoo while serving its community. Information and experiences from this course will provide you with all of the necessary resources to create the proposal, but its up to you and your team to apply your diverse knowledge and skills! Your proposal should consist of printed and other materials that convey your vision for the new exhibit. The format of your proposal is left to the discretion of your team, but certain criteria should be addressed and answered as outlined in the exhibit proposal presentation evaluation form found at the end of this course outline. Your team will present its proposal to a panel of experts including your classmates, the faculty and representatives from the SB Zoo. This presentation should not exceed 10 minutes. Be aware that the expert panel may challenge your plans and that all members of your team may be called upon to answer specific questions. As with the proposal, the format of your presentation is also left to the discretion of your team. The exhibit proposal presentation evaluation form will be used to judge the success of both your proposal and presentation. The team proposal and presentation are each worth 15 points and all members of the team will receive the same score for the team proposal and presentation. In addition to the team grade, each member of the team must submit an individual report. This report must include a description and rating of your contribution to the proposal, and a description and rating of each of your teammates contributions to the proposal on a scale from 1 to 5 with 5 being the highest rating. Although your team is generally free to select any animal(s) for its proposal, the following animals may not be selected this semester: wombat, echidna and wallaby. Timeline for the Term Project February 15, 2008, Term Project Team Roster submitted (Note: Students who have not affiliated with a team will be withdrawn from the course at this date.) February 29, 2008, Term Project Title along with brief description submitted March 28, 2008, First Term Project Status Report due April 18, 2008, Second Term Project Status Report due May 2, 2008, Practice Presentation of Term Project May 9, 2008, Final Presentation of Term Project, Group Written Proposal and Individual Report due Each team shall submit a project report that provides detailed information about the exhibit proposal and each team member must submit an individual report as described above (describing and rating the contributions of each team member). Course Grading- Weekly Journal Entries 20 points First Examination 15 points Second Examination 15 points Term Paper 15 points Term Project (Exhibit Proposal) Group Written Proposal 15 points Group Presentation of Proposal 15 points Individual Contribution Report 5 points Total 100 points Plus/Minus grading will not be used for this course. Incompletes and Late Withdrawal- Incomplete grades will only be awarded under extraordinary circumstances. Not doing well in the course does not constitute an extraordinary circumstance. To avoid being assigned failing grades, students who decide not to complete the class must withdraw themselves from the class in accordance with the procedures described in the University catalog. Academic Dishonesty- All work that students submit as their own work must, in fact, be their own work. For example, if a paper presents ideas of others, it must clearly indicate the source. Word-for-word language taken from other sources books, papers, web sites, people, etc. must be placed in quotation marks and the source identified. Likewise, work on tests and exams must be the students own work, not copied or taken from other students work, and students must comply with instructions regarding use of books, notes, and other materials. In accordance with the CSU Channel Islands policy on academic dishonesty, students in this course who submit the work of others as their own (plagiarize), cheat on tests and examinations, help other students cheat or plagiarize, or commit other acts of academic dishonesty will receive appropriate academic penalties, up to and including failing the course. Papers with plagiarized ideas or language will be graded F and must be rewritten with proper use of quotations and referencing. The grade of F will remain the recorded grade on that assignment. Plagiarism or cheating on tests and exams will result in an F on the test or exam, very likely resulting in a lower or possibly a failing final grade in the course. To complete course requirements, students must retake the test or exam during the instructors scheduled office hours. In cases where the cheating or plagiarism was premeditated or planned, students may receive an F for the course. Students are encouraged to consult with the instructors on when and how to document sources if they have questions about what might constitute an act of plagiarism or cheating. Disability Accommodation Services- Students with disabilities needing accommodation, make requests to, Disability Accommodation Services, East Bell Tower, 1796. Please discuss approved accommodations with either Professor Muraoka or Professor McNeill. Course Schedule- This is a tentative course schedule and is subject to change. All guest speakers, except where otherwise noted, are from the SB Zoo. As you will see in the weekly schedule below, the class will make field trips to the SB Zoo and the Los Angeles Zoo. Students will not be able to make the field trips unless they have filed with the course instructors the Wavier of Liability form (this form is available from the instructors and will be distributed during the first class session). Directions to the SB Zoo may be found at  HYPERLINK "http://www.santabarbarazoo.org/info.asp" www.santabarbarazoo.org/info.asp. It is about a one-hour drive from 91Ƶ to the SB Zoo when traffic is light. However, traffic is often heavy during the morning rush hour and it may be wise to plan additional driving time. When arriving at the SB Zoo, kindly park at the rear of the parking lot. Inform the attendant at front gate that you are at the zoo to attend the class session and you will be admitted to the zoo and directed to the location for the class session.
