Class Meetings for On Campus
Students
The On-Campus Global Change course is scheduled to meet MWF 11 and will do so the first two weeks of classes(except for university holidays).
Because most of the required activities in connection with the course are available on the web, there is reduced need to physically meet at all appointed times.
On the basis of student Course Evaluations from previous semesters (student evaluations do matter!) and discussions with Environmental Science Program faculty
advisors, we wil reduce the number of class meetings. Cancellation of class meetings will not be on
a regular basis but will be announced at least two days in advance in the "Message of the Day" in
your personal portfolio.
Despite the fact that the class will not be meeting on some days, the due dates for assignments listed in your personal electronic portfolio will be rigidly enforced (you will be
electronically locked out from taking a quiz or posting an assignment after the assigned deadline). Also, assigned readings and quizzes will remain effective even if the
campus is closed and classes are suspended due to weather conditions.
The face-to-face meetings will be devoted to discussion of the unit topics most recently
completed and to current global change issues being reported in the scientific literature. Students may find this session to be complementary to online dialog (course evaluations suggest that some prefer face-to-face dialog) and may provide ideas for
online dialog as well.
