Each of our students gets full tutor support on weekdays (Monday to Friday) Many Earth processes, such as landslides, earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions, can be dangerous to people. Geologists seek to understand these processes well enough to avoid constructing critical buildings in potentially hazardous areas. If geologists can create maps of locations that have already flooded, they can also create maps of areas that may flood in the future. These maps can guide community development and evaluate where flood protection or flood insurance is required. Our Geology course will help you to learn the basic geological processes, focusing on where, when and why certain rocks and natural resources form on Earth. You'll also explore some of the environmental and sustainability concerns that geologists must address while harvesting and processing these resources.

Developing Predictable Agile Roadmaps When will this project be done? This is the million dollar question agile teams and organizations often grapple with when communicating with stakeholders. Attendees will learn how to build realistic road maps in order to have meaningful conversations with leadership teams, allowing them to confidently predict, set expectations, and facilitate organizational decision making. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.
