Two projects throughout the class that reflect the building of content and that allow the learner to apply the content to their own applications. Midterm Project--learners will create a permaculture garden blueprint for their (real or fake) land lot, a high-level budget estimating costs for the development of each zone, and a short 1-2 page research paper outlining their choices for their blueprint design and budget. Final Project--learners will build upon the blueprint and estimated budget they created in the midterm project to create a presentation detailing the intricacies of their permaculture garden plan, including but not limited to: blueprints, budgets by garden zone, potential issues and forward-thinking to prevent these issues; and any profit-making ventures that they plan to do with their permaculture garden.Evaluación de dominio
Two untimed quizzes reviewing content from 2-3 weeks of lessons. Each quiz consists of 10 multiple choice and true/false questions, and can be taken 2 times (only the highest score will be kept for each quiz).Certificado de finalización
