Fifty percent of your final course grade will be determined by the extent of your participation in DolphinLab seminars, workshops and class activities. Fifty percent will be determined by your performance on the end of course exam. Exam answers will illustrate a mastery of knowledge about dolphins, their ecosystem and related conservation issues; answers given are to be correct according to current knowledge/research as presented in the seminars, demonstrations and field activities and reflect an understanding of major factual information contained within all topics in the course outline. The exam will be given at Dolphin Research Center on the last full day of the course.

Interested students will receive complete syllabi, information and instructions upon arrival at Dolphin Research Center.

The additional fee to Florida Keys Community College is charged separately from your DolphinLab enrollment. Payment can be arranged after your arrival.
