After
spending the weekend and the better part of the week working on our proposal
with in our groups today we were able to get some outside advice from our
peers. I find that even though sometime it is hard to have your work critiqued,
it is very helpful to hear an outside perspective because they may see things
in a different way. Writing this proposal actually made me realize and
appreciate the cost that goes into a project like the one we are working on and
made me realize how lucky we are that we are getting to participate in this
project and that we are allowed to use supplies from UCA.
Another internship opportunity
Here is a summer employment opportunity for juniors, seniors and graduates
Dear Faculty and Administration,
My
name is Shannon Repokis, and I represent Clemson University's Youth
Learning Institute. The summer is fast approaching, and we are looking
for college students to work for our wildlife summer camp. This camp
works with children ages 8– 14 and focuses on shooting sports, ATVs,
fishing and more.
I have attached job description of the program I feel suit your students’ interests, but have included our on-page flier with all of our summer camps in hopes that you will pass it along to your students. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If there are any questions please feel free to contact me by email (Repokis@clemson.edu) or phone (864-376-4201).

We worked on this proposal for a while yesterday and decided to do spot counts for birds. This will simply be a 10 minute count of a certain radius where water samples can be taken from the same area. This also allows for more people to be able to participate in the bird counts. Josh had a great idea yesterday about how this could make a broader impact. We can post our data online for the scientific community as we are sampling that will show the exact location of birds spotted in the area.

Arkansas Game and Fish Internship Opportunities
I counted almost 30 positions available in Education, Enforcement,
Fisheries, and Wildlife Biology all across the state. These are paid
positions and good opportunities for our students. I've attached the
link.

Students presentations of proposals from 02/05/14
I didn't really have anything specific for one group, so I have decided to write my collection points here for you all to consider. Overall, I thought it was a productive exercise that helped you all to work out what you plan to do.
Things you did well
Use peer review literature to support both your hypotheses and methods
Clearly have put some thought into what would be most important in terms of the overarching goals of the wetland project.
Details of how many replicate samples to take where and when was helpful to develop as a group.
Nice job using maps-maps, diagrams, and ghost data are helpful in clear communication.
Good job getting us set up with a system for texting. I'm not sure how to use it, but good that Kell initiated and Ali implemented. -Thanks
Things to work on
Make sure the WOB goal is a goal stated in your proposal. Tie your group objectives and hypotheses back to the overarching goals. [start broad and funnel]
Don't ignore your title. Interesting and descriptive titles are extremely important.
Make sure you have dark text on light background or vice versa. Fill out the slides with text and images. Avoid having a lot of empty space.
Do not forget to clearly address Broader Impacts and Intellectual Merit.
