Adam Dastrup will be developing GEOG 1700-- Natural Disasters.
"Students taking this course will be introduced to the earth's natural disasters, the processes and energy sources that produce them, along with the spatial distribution and pattern of natural phenomena, while developing an understanding of the impact these phenomena have on human activity. Throughout the term, student will be involved in observing these phenomena by use of various media, archives, the Internet, and Podcasts. by chronicling the occurrences locally, nationally, and globally, students become aware of the dynamic nature of the earth, and the effect this has on the physical, economic, and personal/emotional aspects of their lives. they will discover the ramifications of these phenomena in their lives with an increased understanding of the necessity for preparation, if not prevention, should some type of natural disaster occur locally. Student will also develop an increased awareness of the financial and emotional toll that a headline really represents. All disasters are actually individual disasters. "
Mark Lye and Brenda Blocker will be working with Adam on the development of this exemplary course.

Adam is going great guns on his course. Mark and I are kind of just watching him go. He is very independent and wants to learn how to do things for himself. He is really focused on building a quality course.
He has one suggestion that we may want to consider: He finds it difficult to record his time and efforts on this project. It isn't convenient so he doesn't think about it. He would like to have us develop a record keeping template that he can easily open and track each time he works on the course.
