Program
Pre-workshop homework
- By Tuesday, July 7, fill out this short survey that will help us create working groups around disciplinary areas. Note that you will also upload a syllabus of the course you plan to work on during the workshop - don't worry, it does not need to be complete.
- By the beginning of the workshop on July 13, watch the NAGT webinar (Suddenly) Teaching Geoscience Online and explore the resources on that page (if you haven't already done so)
