2 comments:

  1. I think there can be a lecture on good phone/texting techniques so as to make number 3 more effective. And there should be a lab series to help students prepare for number 11. Numbers 14, 16 and 17 might also require some in-class practice, depending on the students' level of mastery of those activities. The rest probably can only be experienced during the field trip portion of the course.
