STEC521 is an introductory course in meteorology for adults, offered by the University of New Hampshire's College for Lifelong Learning. Students study current theories describing the origins and behavior of the Earth's atmosphere, and the techniques of practical weather observing, analysis, and forecasting. It is an intellectually challenging course, but not outside the abilities of an average individual. The small class size allows us to work mostly in a "discussion-group/lab" rather than a "lecture/homework" environment. Graded coursework includes labs (done in small groups) and homework assignments. Students should have a basic understanding of how to use web-browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. In this course we will use a few equations to describe the atmosphere. In other words, you will be asked to plug numbers into an equation that is provided to you, and get an answer using your calculator. You will not be asked to solve or manipulate an equation. |
