ETM 525 Risk Assessment: Assignment 2

Hi. I'm Dr. David Edwards. Welcome to the ETM 525 Risk Assessment blog site. The URL or address for this blog site is ETM525.blogspot.com. You are currently looking at the first posting (at the bottom of this blog site page) associated with the second assignment of this course. You will be creating a blog posting here for this assignment, too.

I will tell you how to do it in the next post.

By way of reminder, your second assignment is to (1) watch the narrated PowerPoint slide presentation for this assignment found in Blackboard, (2) read the assigned Chapter 14 from LaGrega et al. on risk assessment for hazardous waste sites, (3) choose a topic from this chapter to blog about, and (4) create a blog on this site on your chosen topic. The next blog entry will tell you how to do this.

A blog consists of text and pictures that perhaps anyone can access on the Internet. Typically, blogs contain random, periodic commentary from individuals. But, why limit it to that? In this case, we will be doing a blog as a class exercise, discussing elements of risk assessment for hazardous waste sites with each other in this class. Each of you will describe one facet or aspect of risk assessment for hazardous waste sites. You can include your own photos, or photos from the Internet in your assignment.

Later, we may add additional information to this blog on another topic. Each of you will be responsible on the final exam for all information posted here.
