If you are not present and participating, it is impossible to earn participation points. More importantly, your absence denies class members and instructors the opportunity to learn from you and you from them. If you need to be absent from class, please inform an instructor in advance. After three absences, you are requested to see your instructor or Dr. Jurin to avoid being possibly disenrolled from the course. On weeks one and two, it will fill most of the session with a break mid-way.
Time is set aside at the beginning of class for questions and discussion of assignments.
Students should feel free to ask the speakers and instructors questions. Chances are, some of your fellow students do not understand either. You do a service to everyone by encouraging clarification. On Wednesdays and Fridays the class will break into three small group sessions. During these sessions we will combine lectures with activities to develop and practice skills related to the communication of natural resource and environmental science information.
