THE SOIL ECOSYSTEM
(this is a work in progress - KV February 2021)
The following materials are provided to expose the user to lecture materials delivered throughout a standard semester of a lower division introductory soil science course.
PLEASE NOTE THESE SLIDES ARE NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR DIRECT CONTACT WITH AN INSTRUCTOR. MUCH OF THE MATERIAL I PRESENT IS SUPPLEMENTED WITH IN CLASS ASSIGNMENTS, WRITTEN NOTES & DRAWINGS, AND DISCUSSION.
Students enrolled in my class meet with me weekly to work on activities and allow time for discussion and questions. We also have weekly assessments and lab activities that supplement the course. I will do my best to update this page as I create more video content. Please let me know if you have any constructive feedback for me regarding the delivery of this course content.
