Natural Resources Curse

Listen to this story on the "Natural Resources Curse" and Libya.

5-week grades entered.

5-week grades were entered. I based them totally on attendance and grades to date. (Satisfactory vs. Unsatisfactory). Attendance hours were based on a maximum of 16. (I did not include the snow days and the day I had to be absent due to budgets). If you have any questions please let me know.

I hope to have the exams graded and a current grade for you by the time you return from spring break. If not sooner.

Suggestions for Course Improvement....

Please complete the survey, found at this link (click here), to help us make any mid course changes necessary to improve learning outcomes for the class as a whole. I may not be able to address every comment, but wherever 'themes' emerge, I can certainly make changes. You can get extra credit for your trouble.

UPDATE: If you have not already completed the survey, please submit the CODE to receive your extra credit during class before the first exam. There were concerns about matching CODEs arriving via-email with time stamps that are associated with the survey.

Your responses are confidential and I am very receptive to constructive criticism.

Thank you --- Buddy

Identify the Location of the Erosion and win a Starbucks Coffee...

I did not have to walk far today to find some serious erosion issues. If you can give me the exact location of this site or take a picture of it yourself and e-mail me. You can win a free coffee! I am hoping it will make people look around for natural resources management issues in their own environment. First one with the correct location wins.
