作者简介

　　Eldon D.Enger is an emeritus professor of biology at Delta College，a community college near Saginaw，Miclugan. He received his B.A. and M.S.degrees from the University of Michigan.Professor Enger has over 30 years of teaclung experience， during which he has taught biology， zoology， environmental science， and several other courses. He has been very active in curriculum and course development. A major curriculum contribution was the development of an environmental technician curriculum and the courses that support it. He was also involved in the development of learning community courses in stream ecology，winter ecology， and plant identification，Each of these courses involved students in weekend-long experiences in the outdoors that paired envi-ronmental education with physical activity-stream ecology and canoeing， winter ecology and cross-country skiing， and plant identification with backpacking.　　Professor Enger is an advocate for variety in teaching meth-odology. He feels that if students are provided with varied experiences， they are more likely to learn. In addition to the standard textbook assignments， lectures， and laboratory activities，his classes included writing assignments， student presentation of lecture material， debates by students on controversial issues， field experiences， individual student projects， and discussions of local examples and relevant current events. Textbooks are very valu-able for presenting content， especially if they contain accurate，informative drawings and visual examples. Lectures are best used to help students see themes and make connections， and laboratory activities provide important hands-on activities.　　Professor Enger received the Bergstein Award for Teaching Excellence and the Scholarly Achievement Award from Delta College and was selected as a Fulbright Exchange Teacher twice-to Australia and Scotland. He has participated as a volunteer in several Earthwatch Research Programs.
