Here are the points
- The first section of the class is a series of videos of me delivering the lecture component of our classes, i.e., the first two days, approximately 16 hours. This is the same lecture an attendee would get in a live class. At any time while the thought is still fresh, I encourage you to pause and text message me (for short questions) or email or call me (longer, more complicated questions). I will answer your questions and re-post them, as an anonymous question, so others can benefit from the question and the answer as they would from a live classroom.
- The field portion is another series of videos of me as I go through the field protocols. As in the lecture component, this will be the same discussions and demonstrations I give in a live class. Video zooms in to show up-close objects. I am going to have several field videos of different types of ecosystems and soil types to accomodate as many regions of the country as possible. Again, I will be available for questions and encourage them as they develop.
- I will have office hours available by request. During these office hours, I set up a network (e.g, Zoom) so we can chat about where you are and what you need and interact. Participation during these office hours will be strongly encouraged.
- I hold office hours regularly in the morning and in the late afternoon at various times.
-
I expect everyone to finish within 21 days, but this can be extended.
