Welcome to spring semester online section of PSC1121

When Webcourses opens on Monday, you'll have a small intro module to work during this first week, whilst everyone is dropping, adding and swapping. So until Saturday, here are the things to work on:

1. 
   Obtain the textbook, of course.
   
2. Skim and look over the photos and diagrams or chapter 24 of the textbook.
   
3. Work on the Oceans 1 mini-quiz.
   
4. Familiarize yourself with the syllabus.
   
5. Take a look at the extra readings about the Floridan aquifer.
   
6. Get the exam schedule cleared at your place of employment. The exam schedule is in the syllabus.
   
7. See if you can in any way rearrange your schedule so as to swap over to my lecture section, PSC1121-0003, which meets MWF at 10:30 - 11:20 AM in BA119. There are still a few seats, and you will find it way easier to earn a good grade in the lecture section.

Welcome aboard!
