Abstract/Contents: | "In response to requests for more crop-specific information (e.g., turf diseases for those interested in turf careers, diseases of ornamentals for those in landscape horticul-ture, etc.), students in my undergraduate plant pathology courses are asked to study (individually or in small groups) disease identification and management for crops important to them, and prepare a "notebook" on this information. Literature on a wide variety of diseases is made available, interviews with crop specialists are arranged whenever possible, and students are encouraged to find samples and bring them to lab. Following several "checks" in the course of the semester, each student's notebook is individually discussed and evaluated in a 30-minute interview. This approach of working with individuals and small groups is demanding of the instructor's time, but most students respond very positively, and find it a motivating and useful project, allowing them to learn specific, customized information, and to become familiar with sources of practical information." |
