4. Course Description:
Effective grape production depends on the grower developing a system of grape management that is appropriate for each vineyard. Decisions need to be made for how to manage all of the normal cultural practices such as planting, fertility, harvesting, and pruning as well as managing the insect, disease, and weed problems that occur either regularly or sporadically. The information in this course will address management issues related to common, expected pest problems as well as the occasional appearance of minor pest problems.

2. Laboratory/Studio Sessions
|
Instructional Methods: This is an online course with a synchronous component. An online course site is used to provide announcements, instructions, discussions, and supplemental printed and web-based materials to the students. Written assignments and other projects will be used to reinforce concepts. There will also be a weekly live class meeting using the Centra web conference system. The date and time will be decided at the beginning of the course. During the live class meeting, there will be a PowerPoint presentation on the subject of the week and a discussion period following on the question of the week. There will then be a question period for students to ask questions on the subject of the week.
Written Assignments: All written assignments will be typed. Spelling and grammar are extremely important in professional writing and papers will be scored accordingly.
Discussion Board Postings: Students will be asked to respond to weekly question(s) posted by the instructor in the “Discussion Board” area of the online course site. This must be done in a timely manner.
Final Project:
Each student will be asked to put together a spray program for insects and diseases based on economics, efficacy, and other factors that should influence your pesticide choices.
Details will be provided in the online course site. This project is due the last week of class.
Expectations: This is an online course with a weekly synchronous meeting. Students are expected to be prepared for the live class meeting by going through weekly reading materials. Students also need to check the online course site for class materials and communications regularly, be aware of the required activities and assignments, and adhere to the deadlines listed in the course schedule. This will ensure a successful learning experience.
