Course Sequence: The NatureConnect Base Camp Welcome to the Orientation Course NatureConnect Base Camp. This page contains the course "Posting Schedule." It's at this point that a consensus decision needs to be made only if you find it is not convenient to keep to the default posting schedule of Wednesdays & Sundays from here to course completion (see A below). The default schedule is usually best because it offers both adequate time and sustains momentum. It is also quite challenging to have to set up a new schedule by email. If you find this schedule is too fast, use Choice D, posting every five days (six weeks total). Once a schedule is selected, one of the course members should get the OK to make and submit to the group a schedule of the specific dates ( Month and Day) for the course. For most people, this course covers new ground and its momentum is important. Otherwise, the experiences get overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. Try and stay within the schedule framework upon which your group agrees. PLEASE inform your group if you will be late with one of your postings . . . don't be a missing ingredient. It causes a great deal of disarray that is often not apparent. Gaining and giving consent is the name of the interact group game. As you will discover, it is also an essence of nature. It does, however, take time and patience when done by email.
Course Schedule Options
and Completion Times:
Choice A, the default posting twice a week, is usually best for most groups and is automatically used if other options are not proposed. Again note: it is often time consuming and difficult to arrange other schedules by email so be sure to distrubute a date and day schedule for your group once it is determined.
