Section Description

>>This course is suited for those students desiring a science elective on an interesting plant, learning some of its botany, history, and horticultural care. It will be of interest too for any interested in beer and knowing more about one of its main ingredients, or for homebrewers wanting to grow their own hops. Ornamental uses in the landscape are another benefit of this vine. >>This completely online course is based on the main parts (specific pages to be given) of two small and inexpensive texts, as well as supplemental documents and weblinks on Brightspace. The tests are open book, untimed and done online. They are designed to reinforce student’s familiarity with the material, and to reinforce key facts on hops varieties and their culture. >>Email contact between professor and students is used as needed and to share information and course updates.
