Course Overview
You can take Ocean 102 either:
Lecture slides, assignments, and a daily log are posted online for students in both A and B sections. The lectures are also podcast and "screencast" (a UW-hosted online video service) for both sections. Ocean 102 can fulfill 5 credits of either your "Natural World" or "Individual & Society" credit. CAUTION: Please be clear that the internet section is not intended to be a full-service online course. It shadows the lecture section using lectures, "screencasting," assignments, and a daily diary posted online. TA's are available online and at office hours. Do not expect these amenities to serve as a 100% alternative to attending class. They are intended as a convenience for students who consider themselves able to succeed in the class without attending. The internet section should require more work, not less, than the lecture section to achieve the same grade. The average grade in the internet section is typically about 0.2 grade points lower than that of the lecture section.
