This class is Part 2 of the Entomology Research Series. However, learners can take each part at any time as each class does not build on each other.

Background knowledge is NOT required for this class.

Each week, we will research and discuss a different insect following the schedule below.  

Entomology Research Part 2
Week of June 5 - 1: Gum-leaf skeletoniser 
Week of June 12 -2: Peanut-headed Lanternfly
Week of June 19 - 3: Brazilian Treehopper
Week of June 26 - 4: Pale tussock
Week of July 24: Pipevine swallowtail 
6: Brown marmorated stink bug
7: Common walking stick
Week of August 28 - 8: Thorn bug
9: Common water strider 
10: Tarantula hawk
11: Giant desert centipede
12: Eastern Hercules beetle

Some of the information that learners will research and discuss in class includes: 
Scientific classification
Physical characteristics and function
Behavior
Role in ecosystem 
Habitat where they are found  

After researching the 12 insects above, the class is going to cycle back to insect 1 so learners can join the class at any time.

The class will primarily be structured as a discussion guided by the information that learners find in their research during class. After research the 12 insects, learners can download the google doc used in class to put together a mini encyclopedia of the insects covered in class.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Dr. Lopez has been teaching science-related courses on Outschool since March 2020. Some of the general topics she has taught include Microbiology, Marine Biology, Ornithology, Botany, Herpetology, environmental science with research and presentation components.

She previously taught undergraduate non-science and science major courses in Ecology, Tropical Biology, and Life Sciences at University of California, Irvine. Furthermore, she lead undergraduate field and lab courses in Ornithology, Ecology, and Biodiversity at Rice University. 

EDUCATION
Dr. Lopez earned a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Rice University in Houston, TX and earned a B.S. in Biology from University California, Los Angeles.
Research Experience

Dr. Lopez has conducted research in various ecosystems including mudflats and salt marshes (marine ecosystems), freshwater wetlands, and coastal and riparian terrestrial habitats. Her research has focused on species interactions (herbivore- plant, and plant-plant, predator- prey) and how climate change, water pollution, Nitrogen deposition, and invasive species affect these interactions at the species and community level. 

GOALS
Dr. Lopez enjoys motivating and inspiring learners via her teaching to increase interest in science fields. In her courses, Dr. Lopez focuses on transferable skills that learners can use and apply to different areas and career paths. Furthermore, she provides the information necessary so that learners are equipped to make decisions as informed citizens of society in the future about the future of science and current environmental issues.  

COURSE POLICIES
1.	The courses follow the ‘Limited’ refund model. Parents may withdraw up to a week before class starts with a full refund. Within this timeframe, parents may request a transfer to a new section no less than 72 hours before class is scheduled to start.
2.	If your learner has not joined the meeting 10 minutes after the scheduled class start time, the meeting will be cancelled. This is considered a missed meeting and you are not entitled to a refund.
3.	If your learner misses 3 consecutive class meetings without previous communication with Dr. Lopez, you forfeit the class fee (no refunds), and any remaining sessions of the class will be cancelled. 
4.	In the event that a learner misses a class, recordings are privately made available in each classroom upon request if at least one learner is in attendance for that session. However, a recording is not available for sessions in which there is only one learner enrolled. 
5.	Learners must be respectful at all times of Dr. Lopez and ALL other learners in the class with no exception.
6.	Make-up sessions will be provided if there is a problem and Dr. Lopez cannot attend class due to an unforeseen emergency.
