About Agroecosystem Topics The Agroecosystem Topics are term papers which students prepare as Web pages, learning the basics of HTML and how to post documents on the Web and write for the Web in the process. Only final submissions that achieve an A grade and require little or no editing are posted. None of the students whose Topics are posted on this site had prior experience preparing Web pages, thus these pages illustrate what can be accomplished in technical terms after mastering introductory level "Web Literacy" skills. All of the pages, as well as hundreds of contributions made to an electronic class bulletin board, are drawn upon to construct other pages at this site. **These pages or sites were prepared as term papers for half-semester Special Topics (directed studies) classes. About Web Literacy "Web Literacy" is defined as the ability to make critical use of the Web to access information, and to prepare documents and Web sites that make effective and appropriate use of this medium. Web Literacy involves some core technical skills and benefits from good writing skills. The Agorecosystems class provides formal training in the technical skills and in the application of academic standards to writing for the Web.
