Today's schedule is A-B-C-D
A & D - Criminology 12 - OK so this is it. This is the last day to get your seminar topic prepared and ready to go for the next three days. Now let's talk about stress. Some of you are not too fond of public speaking and find it an unpleasant experience. It doesn't have to be. You have five minutes (or more if you need it) to present information on a criminology topic to the class. The information is about something you are interested in and why you are interested in it. Some of you have indicated that you're panicking about speaking in front of the class which is both natural and actually kind of funny (given that you all have done this already just not in a structured format). So look through the following websites to help you plan for your talk:
CAASAA Public Speaking Skills
How to Conquer Public Speaking Fear
Toastmasters Tips & Techniques
Overcoming the Fear of Speaking to Groups
Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking
The Art of Speechmaking
We start tomorrow with our last quiz in the class and then we move on to presentations for the remainder of the week.
B - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today we'll finish our look at earthquakes in class starting with the Mega Disasters: West Coast Tsunami DVD that we began yesterday. You'll need to work on questions 9, 14, 15, and 16 from page 168 in the Earth Science and the Environment text and "How do Tsunami's form and what makes them do so much damage along coastlines?"
C - Geography 12 - Today we're back in the library for our last class day to work on our Mass Wasting pamphlet. You can find the assignment on Day 33 (the second day of your week 8 package). Today is the last day that I can give you for this assignment as the library is booked solid so you'll need to do some research on your own. Here are some websites to help...
Forest Service National Avalanche Center
United States Geological Survey Landslides Hazard
Federal Emergency Management Association Landslide & Debris Flow
National Park Service Mass Wasting
Geological Survey of Canada Landslides
Parks Canada Mountain Guide
University of Kentucky Earth Science Department Mass Wasting animation
Parks Canada Backcountry Avalanche Information
National Atlas of the United States Landslides
OUC Foundations of Physical Geography Mass Wasting
Nestled away, in the back corner of G.P. Vanier, you'll find room 115 (we used to be 611). Lurking in the shadows of this room is Mr. Young...waiting to pounce on unsuspecting students and natter on about volcanoes, hail, psychopathy, criminal law defenses, cultural diffusion, media theories, crime, and urban models of city development. He loves his job in 115 and can't wait to work with you this year.
