It is highly recommended that you consider tape recording class sessions. By doing so, you can concentrate on understanding processes and applications of knowledge presented, rather than trying to write down every thing the instructor says. You will be expected to understand how facts apply to different situations by reasoning out logical processes, sequences and consequences. Exam questions will stress critical thinking rather than rote memorization. The Instructor MUST approve your topic.
Research papers are due the eleventh week of class.
You may earn extra credit by keeping a journal during this course. Each entry is to be a current event type of entry about Michigan or the Upper Great Lakes Basin. The amount of extra credit earned will be 20 points. Journals are due no later than Nov 11th. They will not be accepted for credit after that date.
