The course will be a participant-initiated, faculty directed, inquiry into the coastal environment. Participants will make observations and formulate hypotheses, with constructive criticism from faculty. Evening lectures/debriefings will be held and hands-on activities will be undertaken throughout. Teacher evaluations and grades will be based on "active participation," a daily journal, and developing a classroom lesson plan and activities based on information and materials gained during the course. Topics to be covered include: sea-breeze circulation from the ground and from space (satellite image interpretation will be a key aspect), coastal interaction studies (wave analysis, sand sorting, barrier island information), historical connections (Native Americans, colonization, development), hurricanes, and basic astronomy. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture Social Science Graduate College Educational Technology Department Course Attributes: MET COURSE FOR GRAD FEE ASSESS
