Last spring the university also introduced several undergraduate courses that combine on-site classes with online discussions and tutorials.
Other ways employers can help include: offer generous and widely accessible tuition-reimbursement plans to employees; make space available to local colleges and universities to offer on-site classes, and work directly with employees who started on the path to a degree but never finished.
Depending on your locality's requirements, this education may be received through self-directed studies, online training programs or on-site classes.
The data for elevation (E) and slope (S), which were only used to develop a continuous measure of site productivity based on site class (see Eq. 2 below), were mostly obtained from the ground-measured FIA databases.
The study described in this paper investigated the effects of a mega-thrust subduction earthquake on the seismic performance of moderately ductile concentrically braced frame multi-storey office buildings (MD CBF) located on Site Class C in Victoria, B.C., Canada.
It kicks off with a nine-day on-site class that meets every day, including weekends, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Students get about 60 hours of class time and eat most meals together.
I said I prefer to take an on-site class, on campus with an actual physical class, but the guy kept pushing me to go online, saying it's not that bad.
For this reason, Wald and Allen (2007) and Allen and Wald (2009) have proposed to use the topographical slope (slope) from digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from remote sensing (satellite imaging) to give a first-order estimation of site classes based on V S30.
I find studio classes to be deeper, more internal experiences, and on-site agency classes to be more interactive and external.
Even though these calculations suggest that the surficial geology has a greater influence on ground motions than might be expected based on its site class alone, there are some scatters that probably depend on the earthquakes or the paths.
