  1. No, but I wish I was. Is that the intro (LRES) course or the more advanced (CHEM) course?

  2. I am intrigued. Is it usually offered every year? How many credits is it worth? I will be looking for field classes for summer 2011 when I present my capstone work. Can't go to Montana without doing interesting field work.

    Thanks

  3. Hey Tom, I'll be in Montana in 2011 as well! Would love to meet you in person...
    Jasper, you'll have to let us know how it is.

  4. Really cool so far, it is 2 credits, five days, lots of labs so far, field trip to Yellowstone thermal features yesterday, great fun presenters so far. Great Pizza and beverages after our trip yesterday. The guy that's going to work for NASA this fall is telling us about microbial growth as we speak!

  5. I should have taken that this year - I took the LRES course last year, and really enjoyed it. Maybe it will be offered again.

  6. offered every year, it was worth it, but they are all very worth it. The campus courses with field work rule
