Students are expected to complete three self-graded take-home quizzes, attend all lectures, and turn in assignments on time.The approximate timing of the assignments is below. Due dates will be announced in class. Assignment Approximate timing3 self-graded quizzes weeks 2-5Prob. Set #1 (10pts) weeks 2-3Prob. Set #2 (50pts) weeks 3-5Prob.

All are encouraged go to the Wisconsin AWRA/WGA conference in Brookfield, WI. See the following websites for detailsAWRA: http://www.awra.org/state/wisconsin/WGA: http://www.wgwa.org/springconference.html There will be no class on March 27th and April 1st when I will be out of town attending a conference. Please take this opportunity to view my Langbein Lecture (Benchmarks in Hydrogeology in the 20th Century: Unexpected Payoffs) and also one other Langbein Lecture of your choosing. Langbein Lectures are available as webcasts. More information will be presented in class.There will be no class on April 22nd and April 24th so that students can use class time to work on the final group project. Students will present results of the final project the following week and I willgave the two final lectures the last week of
