Assessment
Lecture courses are assessed based on in-class activities, homework, and exams. We usually have one in-class activity or one homework assignment per chapter. Exam questions consist of multiple choice, short answer essay, diagrams, and visual analysis of landscapes. Lab courses are assessed based on lab exercises and lab exams.
Homework Policy
Homework is due by the end of the due date. No late work is accepted.
Attendance Policy
Attendance is required in order to have a successful experience. We do in-class activities for points which can’t be made up after the class.
Availability
Email is the best way to get in touch with me after class. I'm on campus 5 days a week and can find a time that is convenient for you if you want to go over something in person.
Additional Information
If you enjoy being outdoors, this class is for you!
