Jonathan Harvey: Using Eyes on the Hydrosphere: Tracking Water Resources in Earth Systems Science at Fort Lewis College part of Eyes on the Hydrosphere: Tracking Water Resources
My course is an introductory survey of earth science taught to mainly lower-level non-science majors. In the past, it has looked like 3 fairly traditional hours of lecturing per week, with one 3-hr lab each week, in which students do more active-learning, hands-on activities. I thought it would be a good venue for testing the Eyes on the Hydrosphere module. I was not actually the professor of the course during the test of the module, but I did deliver it as a guest lecturer. REST OF STORY HERE
