Do Plants Play A Part In Student Satisfaction?, Amanda Diane Plante
Masters Theses
Environmental psychologists have found relationships between plants, nature and satisfaction. Student satisfaction is important across grade levels. Two studies were conducted to determine the effect of spending time with live plants on student satisfaction and academic performance. In the first study, a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design was used to determine how participation in garden labs would affect high school student satisfaction with school and academic performance. Ecology students in the variable group participated in ten gardening labs during the semester. During labs, students did hands-on gardening activities in the school greenhouse and garden.

Ento 403/803: Management Of Horticultural Crop Pests—A Peer Review Of Teaching Project Benchmark Portfolio, Thomas J. Weissling
UNL Faculty Course Portfolios
ENTO 403/803, management of horticultural crop pests, is an important class for many students. It is required by undergraduate horticulture majors at UNL, but because it is offered online, it is also of interest to entomology and horticulture graduate students across the U.S. and globally. I chose this class for the peer review process because I find it challenging due to online course delivery, and the breadth of knowledge of students that are enrolled. I feel I need to take this course to a higher level where I can engage students of all backgrounds, and ensure that each of them …

Nurturing Native Plants, A Guide To Vegetative Propagation Of Native Woody Plants In Utah, Larry Rupp, Adrea Wheaton
All Current Publications
The goal of this publication was to collect propagation protocols from research literature and compile successful methods used for each native species listed. Where information was unavailable for a species, we have listed the only propagation alternatives. The propagation protocols are laid out much like a recipe would be, listing the various ingredients and materials required for each ‘dish’. This ‘cookbook’ is a work-in-progress.
