Abstract/Contents:"Teaching is the core mission of college education and evaluation of techniques and methods used in teaching is important. For two consecutive years, instructors of an introductory turfgrass management course had students establish 'lawns' in the greenhouse in containers as a group project during the first week of the semester. Students were instructed to do this on their own without guidance, and most had little or no knowledge of basic turfgrass culture. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge students gained from the beginning to the end of a course by having them evaluate their lawn establishment procedures used in the first week's lab at the end of the course. Students were asked to evaluate and make recommendations for change, if desired for : 1) container choice; 2) species and cultivar selection; 3) seeding rate; 4) fertilizer selection and rate. Results are being analyzed."
