APES+CLASS+CALENDAR

APES CLASS CALENDAR Below are brief descriptions of what we did each day in class. You will find uploaded files, links to websites, etc. The most recent day is on top. Scroll towards the bottom for older dates. Each week will be separated from the previous one with a line. Use this to stay informed about what we did in class each day. You should attempt to keep up while at home if you are absent.

Long term project - in-class and out of class Students will work in pairs or alone in the design and construction of a model. The model will be of a human-made feature on a ficticious island that is a model of sustainable planning and development A detailed map of the island will be provided. Students will collect and use "junk items" for the building of their model. When complete, I will videotape each group talking about their creation and its features.

 * OVER THANKSGIVING BREAK **

The Dakota Access pipeline is proposed to transport light, sweet crude oil from the North Dakota Bakken region through South Dakota and Iowa into Illinois. Traveling through 50 counties in 4 states, the proposed route was carefully designed to transport crude in the safest, most efficient way possible. Working with engineers, agriculture experts, and farmers, the Dakota Access team conducted on-the-ground surveys of the proposed route to ensure that the route had taken into consideration every aspect of the land in order to mitigate any risks. As permits are filed, the route is still subject to change slightly in order to accommodate the individual needs and concerns of landowners along the route.
