This fall, there will be three sections of the Methods course, two on Wednesday - at 11:00 am, and 4:10 pm, and one on Thursday at 9:00 am. There will also be three lab sections on Friday - at 9:30 am, and 11:00 am. Each class section will be linked to one lab section. A few optional speakers and skill building sessions may also be scheduled at lunchtime.

Registration

Registration for the Methods course is currently closed, and there is no need to add yourself to the waitlist for one of the Methods sections. All EPD concentrators can assume they will be accepted in the Methods course. Students should attend any section of the first class on Wednesday, September 15 or Thursday, September 16. (There will be no class on Thursday, September 9.)  During the first class, we will collect information about your preferred class and lab sections. We will assign and confirm sections after the first class, and THEN you can register for the course through SSOL. 

If you have four or more years of development management experience, and would like to take a more specialized course in place of Methods, please email your resume to Prof. Jenny McGill (em419) before September 1st. 

Finally, if you have a potential client or project in mind for the Workshop in Sustainable Development Practice, and haven’t contacted us yet, please email Jenny (em419) or Ilona (iv2105) and we’ll follow up with you.
