Here's what we covered, all wrapped up in a fun Prezi! [1]
Introduction to Oceans [1] Prezi is a fun alternative to making presentations. Based on the 'Freemium', business model, Prezi provides a basic version for free. Additionally, as a student, you can download the 'educational' version, which offers more options than the generic free download. I encourage you to try it out! handouts"SYLLABUS"
