Dr. Richard William Jordan from Yamagata University visited the University of the Philippines Diliman from March 7-14, 2020. The purpose of his stay was to teach a graduate course (Geology 297: Microfossils and Its Applications). The classes consisted of a theoretical part in form of a lecture and practical lessons by observing slides under microscopes. However, the classes were cut short due to the Enhanced Community Quarantine imposed by the national government to address COVID-19 pandemic.
