HOMEWORK:
Weekly homework is assigned and is required to be completed to be successful in this course. On average, you should allow for approximately 1 hour each week. All students work at different paces, and some may require more time than others. I will not be collecting or grading homework, however, it is important that homework is completed and brought to class. A working knowledge of assigned homework will be critical for class discussions and activities. Most of the homework will be composed of reading, responding to questions, and critically interacting with stewardship ideas identified throughout the day.
