Course Description:
This course is structured to give the student, who is in the fire service or is striving to get into the fire service, the knowledge of the behavior of fire and the laws that govern said behavior. The class will be technical in nature, but degree of difficulty will be such that it will not be hard for those students who make an honest effort in the class. The class will involve a lot reading and studying. The information is going to be presented in a manner that relates to what will be encountered in the field of firefighting .
Important Points:
• Complete assignments on time to avoid losing points toward your final grade.
• Due to technical nature of the course, you must complete "reading assignments." prior to the On-line lecture. The On-line lecture is to clear up concepts or points in need of further explanation.
• You need to study "the specific On-line lecture notes and chapter" prior to the quiz. If you "study", you will have a much better chance of passing the quizzes. Please Note! You will have certain time limit to take the given quiz (30 minutes) in time and the quiz will be on the website for 6 days!
For those of you taking this course, you will be embarking, on a course of study, which affords a great deal of freedom. However, this freedom requires a great deal of discipline and dedication to the course work. This is the type of class work, if you fall behind, you will have hard time to catch back up on your work. The DEADLINES are as with any other college level course of study, FIRM. You will know from the first day of class when all assignments are due. The form of notification will be the following: Web-site, syllabus and reminders from me via e-mail and postings on the "Announcements " on this website.
