課程簡述	This course focuses on the main constituents of marine planktonic food web. We will explore their functional roles in marine ecosystems, including their distribution, abundance, production, and mortality. We will also study the processes governing these functional roles and the impacts of these functional roles on biogeochemical cycling in marine ecosystems. The last month of the semester is dedicated for discussion sessions, in which students are expected to read and present a paper related to either their own research topic or their interested marine ecology topics.

學習評量方式
Paper presentation (30%) Paper discussion (40%) Take-home final exam (20%) Regular participation (10%) For weeks assigned for paper presentation and discussion, students will read and present a paper related to either their own research topic or their interested marine ecology topics. The discussion will be structured as follows. Before the class 1. Everyone will read the assigned papers and submit their answers to the following questions on ilearning (complete one day before class) a. Which paragraph do you find most interesting or illuminating? b. Which paragraph do you find most confusing or unclear? c. What open-ended question relating to the papers would you pose to the class for discussion to identify a new research direction? 2. Discussion leaders a. Prepare a 20-min presentation about the historical context and contemporary relevance of the papers b. Make 3 discussion questions based on the answers submitted by everyone In the class 20 min – Presentation by discussion leader 20 min – Follow up by Oscar 30 min – Q&A for clarification 30 min – Group discussion on the 3 questions from the discussion leader
