-Go the Program Guide in the APUS Library and find your program or the
program you intend to study.
- Think of a problem that occurs or might occur in that profession and
describe the critical thinking steps that would need to be taken to
remediate or resolve the problem. Consider how the person determines the
problem, the information needed, tools, options, and possible outcomes, as
well as criteria used to make the decision.
Good afternoon everyone,
I am most likely going to chose Natural Sciences with a concentration
in biology for my degree program. With this I hope to become a wildlife
biologist in my local area. One role a wildlife biologist plays is determining
estimated populations of wildlife in each area. The importance of these
studies is to gather information used to regulate hunting seasons and bag
limits.
To find and track deer biologist must get creative. One study I came
across used mineral mixed with corn to attract deer to camera sites. The
study tested 4 different mineral mixes to determine the most effective one.
However, at the same time they were able to take a count of the number,
age, and sex of the deer population in two geographic areas where the
studies were taking place. This got me to think of what I would do if tasked
with counting deer population. Sure, I could sit in the woods and wait for
deer to pass by but that would require way too much time. The next option
would be to set up bait sites as the biologists above did. Another viable
option would be to canvas areas in search of droppings, I read another
study about this. I would opt for the baited camera sites. This would allow
me to maximize my time spent in the woods and in the office compiling
information.
The occupation of being a wildlife biologist would require critical
thinking daily. As a biologist I would have to formulate ideas and plans to
carry out many different research projects. As I said above, biologist must
be creative. They deal with live animals that spend their live eluding
predators and humans. Biologist rely on experiences and practices from
themselves and colleges around the world. This shared information gives
an advantage to performing different types of research and studies.
