Because
many
students
in
land-grant
colleges
focus
their
studies
in
the
natural
sciences,
they
often
find
the
writing
assignments
associated
with
classes
in
the
social
science
of
natural
resource
management
to
be
especially
challenging.
Such
writing
assignments
tend
to
depend
on
argumentation,
rather
than
finding
the
answer,
or
controlled
experimentation.

article
describes
a
game
developed
to
allow
high
school,
college
and
adult
students
to
experience
problems
associated
with
open
access
resources.
The
game
allows
students
to
play
the
role
of
a
rational
and
self-interested
rancher
experiencing
the
demise
of
a
common
resource
due
to
lack
of
regulation
or
management.
As
a
follow-up
to
the
game,
students
are
encouraged
to
think
about
the
role
of

module
for
the
classroom
that
was
developed
to
enable

course
to
actively
study
livestock
distribution
by
analyzing
recently
collected
geospatial
data
from
an
on-ranch
situation.
Students
can
develop
hypotheses
concerning
the

Undergraduate
science
instructors
are
concerned
that
the
traditional
lecture

approach
may
not

had
previously
been
taught
as
a
