2. Lon Huber, a former preceptor in the class, talked first about the benefits of being a preceptor, and then about ASUA Sustainability Committee Internship Positions.

3. Dr H announced that ASSIGNMENT I-1 on Your Ecological Footprint is now posted in D2L under Assignments (and is also under Quick Links on our class webpage for those who don't have D2L access just yet.). It is due next Tuesday Sep 1st, IN CLASS. She did a quick step through of the assignment, including Question # 10 which involves reading the Class Syllabus & FAQ and the Code of Academic Integrity and taking a Self Test and Readiness Quiz about what's in these documents.
4. Dr H then gave a presentation on Topic #2: "On Science & Being a Scientist" .
