Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

This is a hybrid course that meets once a week in-person at Rock Creek for a hands-on lab, and has additional coursework and activities to be completed throughout the week online at your own pace. The content is presented in a series of weekly modules designed to guide you as you learn about oceans. Weekly activities include pre-recorded lecture videos, readings, online discussions using the D2L platform, labs, and quizzes. Labs are Tuesday mornings at Rock Creek. Participation in labs is a required component of the course. Students who have the most success with this course block off a significant chunk of time in their weekly schedule to devote to completing the course activities. You will need a reliable internet connection for this course. 

There is an optional field trip to the Oregon Coast on Saturday, May 31st. Transportation provided.

Please feel welcome to contact me by email (megan.faust@pcc.edu) with any questions you have about the course!
