ATSC 113 Applied Meteorology
Weather for Sailing, Flying & Snow Sports
Welcome to SUMMER Students who Joined the Course Late
Welcome new students. If you have registered late into
ATSC 113 this term, your first step is not to panic! Although
coursework is already underway, we have a plan to help you catch up
without hurting your marks.
Please go through the following steps, and if at any point you are
stuck, please contact our Teaching Assistant, Anthony
(anthony.distefano ,at. outlook.com).
- Visit ATSC 113 Homepage: https://www.eoas.ubc.ca/courses/atsc113/summer/ > Schedule .
When did you join the course, and where is that date within the course
Schedule? Depending on how far into the term you enrolled, we
offer conditional grade supplements so you won't lose marks:
- If you enrolled anytime between the due date of Flying Module A
Steps 1-4 and the due date of Flying Module A Steps 7-10, you will be
exempted from completing Flying Module A. But you still need to
do the Orientation module.
- If you enrolled anytime between the due date of Flying Module B
Steps 1-4 and the add-drop deadline (see: UBC Calendar), you are
exempted from completing Modules A and B. But you still need to do the Orientation module.
- But to be exempted from the modules described above, you MUST
complete the Orientation module in full. Please visit ATSC 113 in UBC
Connect and click on "Orientation Modules" > Module A. Follow each
step and click "Mark as Reviewed" to continue. Once the Orientation
module is finished, we will use your Flying-weather Midterm Exam grade
to "backfill" your missing Module grades.
- CAUTION: The Flying-weather midterm exam covers ALL the
Flying-weather Learning Goals, including the ones scheduled before you
joined the course. You can find all the Flying-weather Learning Goals here,
including the ones you missed. So be sure you study all the
flying-weather learning goals before you write the normal online
midterm exam.
- If you complete the Orientation module correctly, it ensures
that you (a) create a Slack
account in the ATSC 113 Slack team and (b) self-enroll into discussion
groups on Connect. Slack is an online discussion board that we use for
this course. Make sure that you have done these
steps.
- Finally, explore the rest of the homepage and familiarize with
the resources used in this course (Connect, Slack) so that you are ready to begin as soon as the next Module is
open.
