課程簡述 Community ecology investigates the structure, assembly, dynamics, and interactions within and between ecological communities. This seminar-based course explores core concepts, major theories, and practical applications in community ecology through paper presentations and discussions. Using "process-oriented grading" and "literature research" as the framework, students will read classic and contemporary peer-reviewed research papers and deliver 1-2 oral presentations. The course emphasizes the development of critical thinking, academic writing skills, and the habit of continuous improvement. There is no traditional written exam; instead, students are evaluated through multi-stage written reports and oral disputation.
