Participants earn three graduate credits for successful completion of the course.
Students are expected to attend all classes, site visits, and excursions. Classes and excursions begin promptly at the designated times, and latecomers cannot be accommodated. Grades are based on class participation (20%), and a final slide identification and essay examination (80%).
The course is moderately physically challenging because it involves hours of walking and standing. Due to space limitations, friends and family cannot join the class for lectures, walks, or site visits.
