Hi All,

Thank you each so much for agreeing to help with the presentations at
Pincher SAR's 2016 SAR Basics course.

The sections you've agreed to help with are shown on the schedule. Each
section has a presenter's name beside it as well as how long the section
is, and the expected start time. See:

http://pcsar.dyndns.org:8080/mediawiki/index.php/2016_Fall_SAR_Basics/Schedule

For most sections we have a fairly well-developed lesson plan. Click on
the name of the section and it will take you to the lesson plan. Some
of the content (e.g. the slides from ERI Canada) are copyright and so
you'll need to log in to see or download them.

All of you have accounts on our wiki from previous times you've helped
out. If it's been a while since you've logged in, read the help:

http://pcsar.dyndns.org:8080/mediawiki/index.php/Help:Logging_in

If you need any help, let me know.

Much of the material is stuff you or other presenters developed for
previous runnings of the course. If you make improvements, please
upload them or e-mail them to me to do so.

Each section includes a "Question Bank". These are questions that the
students will be randomly asked in a written review the next day. The
same questions are used in a "monitor" which is given to the student at
the start of the day before a presentation, to help assess whether the
students have absorbed the material. Please review the Question Bank.
If there's questions you'd like to add, go ahead and do so, or let me
know. Same if there's questions you'd like to change or delete.

At the classroom we'll have the usual supplies: computer projector,
audio, DVD player, flip chart, even an overhead projector for somethings
that are easier to illustrate with transparencies. There is no Internet
in the classroom. I'll bring my laptop and have on it all the
"standard" slides we use. It doesn't have a remove control. If you
want to use any other material, please let me know several days in
advance, or better yet bring your own laptop. The projector works with
both HDMI and the older computer video cable. Sound has to be from
audio out of your laptop.

If you want more material for your section than what is on the wiki, let
me know and I'll help you out.

You'll see that the schedule has some long stretches of sitting, which
isn't good for adult learners. If you can spice your section up with
something that gets them moving, please do so.

Thanks again for all your help. It looks to be a great course.
