Soil Science
Independent Study: Wetland Maps Portfolio--Creating a
Wetland Delineation Map (1 to 6 maps)
Approved by the NH
Joint Board of Licensure for 4 CEUs per map for Wetland
and Soil Scientists
Durham Offsite:
CRN 0, , ,
Meeting times to be arranged with instructor , 2.7 CEUs,
$ 650 per map
1st Map-CRN
15914, 2nd Map-CRN

15916, 4th Map-CRN
15917, 5th Map-CRN
15918, 6th Map-CRN
15920. These are independent study projects designed to
assist you in gaining experience in wetland delineation
map development. In each independent study you will do
one map. You can enroll in one or more independent
studies (up to a maximum of six), but you have to
complete one map before you can register to start
another map. In each independent study you will use the
Region 1 ACOE Protocol to complete a wetland delineation
map on an area that is five to 15 acres. You will
complete one transect (upland and wetland plot) using
comprehensive methods. All choices are Palustrine
Systems that include forested and wet meadows sites. The
instructor will help you select the site and has final
approval of it. You will work on your own time at your
own pace, but you will meet with the instructor three
times during each map project--for an initial two-hour
meeting, for a second two-hour meeting when 50% of the
map is completed, and for a three-hour meeting to review
the final map. (Expect to spend about 20 hours on your
own time working on a map.) When your final map and
supporting data is approved, it will be stamped by a
designated NH Certified Wetland Scientist. These
independent studies will provide valuable instruction
that will aid you in your profession as a wetland
scientist. (The wetland maps are prepared for the
UNH
Professional Development program, and any subsequent use
of the maps as part of an application for state or other
entity wetland scientist certification may or may not be
acceptable for experience requirements.) (For more
information about this offering, please contact Kay

CEUs, $ 225, lunch included
Negotiating is a careful dance that can either land the
deal, or jettison the entire opportunity. Some sales
professionals spend an entire week learning the art of
negotiating. In most law schools, negotiating is an
entire semester! This workshop has been designed to give
you skills, boiled down from the experts, that are
bullet-proof in a selling scenario. You will learn a
process that can be applied to a simple sale or a
multi-million dollar opportunity. You will also cover
many types of closes, including the “pre-close”
technique to vet out any objections that need to be
addressed before you go for the kill! (This is part of

Project Cost Management: A Guide to Earned Value Management
Manchester/286:
CRN
15820, Tuesday, December 1, 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. , .6 CEUs,
$ 265, lunch included
In
today's competitive market, it is critical that projects
be completed on time and within budget. In order to
effectively manage projects you need timely project
control information to identify potential problems as
soon as possible and make effective project management
decisions. This workshop is geared to managers and team
members of virtually any type of project, including
project teams in IT, manufacturing, construction, or
other business and industry environments that are
looking for alternate methods of measuring and
forecasting project status. You'll learn about a project
control tool called Earned Value Management (EVM) and
its value as an early indicator of project cost and
schedule variances. EVM measures work accomplished
versus planned budget and schedule (behind/ahead of
schedule, under/over budget). You'll review a project
case study with EVM data and discuss the basic
problem-solving decisions necessary for project
recovery. You'll also discuss basic project plan
components (work breakdown structure, estimates,
baselines, project schedules) necessary to produce
accurate EVM data; and you'll cover the theory of
project constraints (time, cost, quality, scope and
resources) that impact the success or failure of
projects. (This is part of the Project Management
Certificate Program, but you do not need to enroll in
the program to take this workshop.)
