This assignment aims to give students experience applying
behavioral principles to measure and analyze animal behavior and communicate
their findings to both public and scientific audiences. Students will imagine
they are a behavioral consultant for a client in the animal field and will be
tasked with creating two deliverables. Students will be compiling a
presentation aimed at a general audience, and a behavioral report aimed at a
scientific audience, for an animal species of their choice.
The client could be an animal organization such as a
zoological park, wildlife sanctuary, conservation organization, aquarium, or
animal shelter. Because people at the organization may have varying levels of
experience with animal behavior, the student is tasked with presenting their
findings at two levels of expertise so that no matter how familiar or
unfamiliar their client is with behavioral concepts they will be able to
understand the findings.
The assignment
will provide real-world skills, including: the ability to define, measure, and
analyze behavior; how to communicate scientific concepts, in both oral and
written form, to people of various backgrounds; and how to apply their findings
to provide recommendations to help promote animal welfare. These topics will be
content in the preceding weeks leading up to the course project so that
students build off their minor assignments for their course project.
