Course Content - Family Amaranthaceae
As mentioned on the Course Content Introduction page, "Assigned readings," "assigned video lectures" and "assigned web resources" are the key content for this course and information within these assignments will be used in the development of assessment tools - i.e., quizzes, exams, etc.
Also note that the first link under each "Assigned Video Lectures" heading is to the original Prezi content. If you'd like to learn more about how I've created the video lectures you'll be watching (hopefully) throughout the semester, I've actually recorded a video about the process I use for recording videos the you can watch by clicking here!
"Supplemental" readings, web resources, and video content can be helpful in providing additional context to the assigned materials. It's likely that over the course of the semester additional supplemental resources will be added to this page, so plan to check back frequently.
And, if you come across a resource you believe would be a helpful addition to this content page, please do share it with me.

This "very hot" company's website certainly leads you to believe that this husband-and-wife small business that recently opened just down the NYS Thruway from Syracuse in Rochester, NY is the result of a dream and a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Not that it's not great that this comoany is supporting an increasing number of small vegetable growers across New York State, but if you "dig" a little deeper (sorry, couldn't resist the pun), you'll discover that they're scions of the roughly quarter
billion dollar per year
Shropshire Group, "a major farmers co-operative supplying lettuces, beetroots, celery, radishes, leeks and onions to Britain’s top supermarkets, wholesalers and processors."
Coming soon.
