I don't have alot to add for the previous year due to ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. My other FT faculty member, Marissa Izaak Wald was on a presidential fellowship last year. We also switched to Brightspace learning management system & began using a new textbook...different authors for GEOG 1110 & a new edition of the same lab manual, but with numerous updates all requiring alot of extra hours behind the computer. |
