November 2, 2009 Reminder: December 2 is the deadline for Quiz 3, 4, and 5. Don't wait til the last minute to attempt all three - the lack of reading and study time will be intense when combined with general end of the semester crunch time from other courses. Remember, major sections of this course are based on individual study so you must keep up with the reading and the Quiz formats. The research paper deadline is fast approaching. November 20. Please note the requirement for submitting an assignment in terms of file name. It is covered at the web page (your name and assignment must be in the file - e.g. alwright251research.doc) Quiz 4 is now available at the Moodle site. Note preparation suggestions found in Lecture Topic 4. Previous news releases: Please check to make sure you are up-to-date. Previous news items are listed below from most recent to least recent. October 7, 2009 Reminder: October 20 is the deadline for Quiz 1, 2, and 3 to be completed. Don't wait til the last minute to attempt all three - the lack of reading and study time will show in the scores on the exams (unless you are Superman or something ;). Remember, major sections of this course are based on individual study so you must keep up with the reading and the Quiz formats. September 10, 2009 Updates and Assignments for Week # 3 1. Okay - so my big plans to migrate everything into the university's new learning platform (moodle.csun.edu) has been seriously delayed. Sorry :(! So for the moment we will be running the class from this faculty page. Check with this page Breaking News for updates on assignments. I will catch up eventually. 2. If you are behind - please read the posting from previous news releases below to make sure you are doing all of the work. 3. New assignment: begin lecture one readings related to Quiz One which is found on the Assignments page. Do the reading described there - the Louv discussion forum connected to Quiz one will not be up on Moodle until Monday Sept 14. 4. I teach some outdoor field education classes (this weekend I'm gone Thursday night through Sunday evening) so I can't respond to emails during that time. Send any questions and I will respond on Monday. Al August 31, 2009 Assignments for Week # 2 1. Wander your way to moodle.csun.edu later in the week as that will become the place to look for grades, assignments, etc. as the semester progresses. 2. Go the assignments page and begin to work on the Environmental Lifestyle Audit which is due Sept 11, 2009. (delayed due date to Sept 14) 3. Begin reading the Last Child in the Woods (p.1-111 - not all that amount this week but the first half of the book will be covered as part of Exam I.) 4. From the assignments page - follow the link the the Pretest - no grade, just a way to introduce you to one of the test sources for the semester. 5. Read about the Outdoor Discovery assignment (# 5) and make a plan and send an email to the instructor by the end of the week. August 12, 2009 (Assignments for Week #1) COURSE PAGES ARE STILL BEING UPDATED. CHECK BACK LATER for full course launch. But you can get started by completing these four steps. 1. Review the 'guide to success' including the Sam story. Email instructor. 2. Review 'the FAQ' page. 3. Review the generic syllabus (a more detailed one will be posted later this week). 4.
