Class Meetings

The Global Change course is scheduled to meet MWF 11 and will do so the first two weeks of classes (except for Martin Luther King Day, Jan. 15) . 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 Spring 2000 (student evaluations do matter!) and discussions with Environmental Science Program faculty advisors, we have decided to reduce the number of class meetings. In general, we will meet only once per week, usually on Wednesday, starting the third week of classes. Any departures from this pattern will be communicated to each individual student through the "Message of the Day" in your personal electronic portfolio. Despite the fact that the class will not be meeting, 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 after the assigned deadline).
