November 29, 2006 Update on remaining assignments. The semester seems to have disappeared with only 3 remaining weeks. If you read the assignments page closely it has several adjustments in the remaining assignments. Let me summarize those changes and give reminders of what remains. The journal submission describing your outdoor recreation experience is due next Tuesday, December 5th as originally scheduled. The number of lectures for Exam II has been reduced by one and both Quiz 4 & 5 will need to be completed by the December 15 deadline. There will be no Quiz 6. The requirement for you to review five of your fellow student's Outdoor Recreation Impact Reports is no longer required as the plan to post those for your easy access has not been able to be completed in a timely fashion. So points for the Impact Reports will be evaluated solely on the report you individually submitted. The brief statement of your personal environmental ethic is still due as outlined in the original assignments page. Please remember to submit that by December 14.

I moved the due back to November 7 but that will be here before you are done eating all that extra Halloween candy. Just a reminder about browsers like Explorer - browser holds a certain number of web page in a short term memory file so it may upload the last time you looked at a page rather than the current version of the page.

This will guarantee that you are reading the most recent version of this News Flash page or any other page.

September 27, 2006 New Updates:
September 13, 2006 Course updates and excuses: Hi again! Sorry for some confusion about finding the 'test quiz' and the 'lecture that was promised'. As they say, we've been experiencing technical difficulties! So for those who are faithfully checking the page and asking what to do, here is the assignment for the week.
September 6, 2006 Communication through EMAIL: Contacting the professor: Dr. Al Wright (feel free to call him Al) should be contacted with his CSUN email (awright@csun.edu or alan.wright@csun.edu). I inadvertently (oops) sent out an email with my non-CSUN email. If you do use that to contact me, I'll respond but it complicates my course filing system. If you contact me with an individual question I will always reply to whatever address was the source of the email. Contacting students by professor: Any class emails sent to students from me will use your official CSUN email that is in the system. If you have a primary email that is not your CSUN account then please have your CSUN email forwarded to your Gmail or Hotmail or other preferred address. Here is how: use any browser to go to www.csun.edu/webmail. Enter your CSUN User ID and Password, go to the tool bar and click Options then Mail then Forwarding and enter your alternate emails (this is the New Webmail - if you use Old Webmail then just click Options then Forwarding). Class lists will be sent blind so other student emails are not visible to recipients. Contacting students by students: Only students can give out emails to other students so it is up to you to share that information as you choose.
September 4, 2006 Welcome: Here are the action items to do this week 1) Read course overview material from web page (www.csun.edu/~vcrec004). Especially summary of assignments, FAQ, Guide to Success 2) Send a email to the professor from your preferred email confirming your class participation. 3) Buy the textbook 4) Check back for lecture material links from this board
