Communicating Ocean Sciences
Discussion Warm-Ups

Welcome to the online discussion portal for Communicating Ocean Sciences. You will have the opportunity to submit your pre-thinking about each week's topics through this web-supported format.

The weekly assignment should not take more than 10-15 minutes to complete (as much as possible, provide answers that are spontaneous.) Remember, these prompts are meant to provide the instructors with a quick barometer of your impressions on a particular topic. They will serve as launching points for in-class discussion each week. While some responses may be shared in class, all identities will remain confidential.

Sessions will open for submission one week prior to each due date. Submissions must be received by 7:00 PM on the evening before class to receive credit.

To begin, select the highlighted session from the list below:
