Summer Online Classes

[underwor]

I currently have my Shade Tree Pathology and Sports Turf Management classes available online for summer semester. For more information go to http://www.misu-b.nodak.edu/Online Campus/ppth256online.htm and http://www.misu-b.nodak.edu/Online Campus/hort278online.htm . These classes start immediately and are for full college credit toward a Diploma in Urban Forestry Management.

Looks good, Bob. I imagine those credits would be transferable to a related degree program at one's local school, right?

Even for non-degree types, a 2-month guided immersion into that text would help tree guys advance in their work, and sell a more valuable $ervice to their bosses or customers. I've used my copy for 9 years, and still find new stuff in it.

Under "Other Materials", wouldn't Costello's book on Abiotic Disorders fit, if only as a supplement? It's ~1/3 the cost, and very useful for applied work in the field.

Should be fully transferrable. I know they are to South Dakota State, Texas A&M and Brandon University in Manitoba, since I have had students transfer to those schools. Which of Costello's books are you talking about, the one I am thinking of is $110, but still a great book at any price.

Abiotic Disorders of Landscape Plants, $34.95, whoops more than I thought but still a good price. It's the reducing Infrastructure Damage book that's cheaper, but that's off the topic.

Which book is $110? I thought I had everything of Costello's.

That or the shipping's a killer. That is really a problem.

Yea all touch wood book stuff is New Zealand i think. The kiwi dollar is way down on the yank and pomy dollar/pound. Buying alot of books at once will save you heaps in costs.
