Title: Welcome to Soils and Plant Nutrition AGRI 1153
Course: MASTER-AGRI-1153-HB-Kern > Section: 0

Welcome to Soils and Plant Nutrition AGRI 1153.  My name is John Kern and I am excited to be working with you through this class and laboratory experience!  As this course unfolds, I want you to be aware of the direction that I am looking at taking you and the key items that you will need to realize in order to make the most of your experience as well as to meet the objectives of the course.

1.  The Required Textbook will be used in the class, so you will need to make arrangements to acquire your copy.  I have taught classes with and without a text, but since this is primarily an online class, the use of the text will provide a great deal of the supplemental information for the labs and questions will come the chapters we are studying as well as the notes and information provided on this module as you progress through it.

2.  If you have questions, please send me a Moodle Message.  Please realize that I will get back in touch with you in the evenings as I will plan to manage the majority of this class at that time.  I will check the messages daily.

3.  As we progress with the activities, you will need to have your work completed by the date and times listed for full credit.  Feel free to work ahead within the modules as they become available to you in the course.

4.  Obviously, feel free to contact me if something is unclear or if you have circumstances that I need to be aware of for you to meet the objectives and goals of the class.  I am excited to launch this project and hope that you will be thankful that you have taken this class!
