The Introduction to Weather course is a classroom-based course. Come prepared with your laptop, power cable, student manual and pen/notepaper. As this is a classroom course and most of you will be used to being active during your day, mentally prepare yourself for a classroom setting and come to class having exercised in the morning or plan to exercise at lunch if needed. Snacks and drinks should be organized in advance and brought to class. There is a lunch break but it is not long so having a prepared lunch is beneficial.
