All of your work for this class will be uploaded to a shared Google Drive folder rather than using a Moodle dropbox. This should address any upload issues you have experienced in the past using Moodle and makes it easier for me to comment on your shared documents. Please follow these instructions to create and share your Google Drive folder with me.

Prior to each Monday class (with a few exceptions) you are expected to choose one of the readings and submit a 1-page reflection following this format. This document should be uploaded by 5pm so that I have time to review them before class.

Similarly you will be expected to come to class prepared to discuss potential hazards and possible mitigation strategies for specific geohazards. To prepare for these discussions you will need to produce and share a 1-page Google Doc, which can use this this simple format. You should also include relevant links to sources, current events or photos and add at least one 'even't to this map. It shouldn't take more than 1 minute to add an event to the map and will help us visualize some portion of the global hazards that occur over the semester.

You will produce two professonial products in this course: (1) you will create a professional infographic summarizing an historical or recent natural disasters Infographic Guidelines and (2) collaborate on a group project to produce a high-quality professional brochure relevant to some aspect of geohazards Group Project Guidelines. The latter will require extensive in-class discussion and planning, so we will discuss the specifics for completing this requirement in person.
