Schedule of Classes

This section requires physical attendance in the lab in order to achieve learning objectives. Field Labs and final exams will be in-person and will require strict adherence to class protocols. The remainder of the course (lecture portion) will utilize Zoom for instruction. Active synchronous visible participation and attendance are required for the entire duration of all lectures and any non-field, online labs. Students are required to have a suitable computer, reliable internet access (a minimum of 5 Mbps UPLOAD speed is required if using the Virtual Lab), a functioning webcam that has both video and audio capabilities, and the ability to print and scan 8-1/2 x 11 inch sheets of paper (at the instructor’s discretion, clear and legible digital photos may be an acceptable alternative to scanning). SRJC does have a first-come-first-served laptop loaner program through SRJC Student Services. Cell phones and the majority of tablets will not suffice. At a miimum, computers must be capable of running a web browser, Zoom, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Google Earth. To enable remote access to the Lindley 196 computer lab, students will be required to install a VMWare client application. A schedule of L196 open lab hours (in-person or remote), along with further details will be provided in the course syllabus when available and during the first class meeting.
