Summer 2009 Schedule

next term schedule is here

These are suggested dates to keep on pace. Lessons can be done in any order and at any time.  Do not wait until the end of the  semester and send them all at once. The instructor reserves the option of deducting points for  the extra burden of grading  multiple lessons during the grading 'crunch' at the end of the semester.

Report and exam dates are fixed and firm. Points will be deducted for late submissions.

Lesson quizzes are in the lab manual at the end of each lesson. You will need to work through the lesson in order to answer the quiz questions and to do well on the exam.

The lessons page has links to other aids for the exercises.

Answer sheet for the quizzes is here.

Quizzes are not required for virtual field trips.


More information.

* The earthwatch log (EW) is a report of a series of ten recent geological events that occur throughout the course and submitted at the end of the course. It should be a brief summary of each event, the cause of the event, and the human impact of the event. Grading is heavily based on the spread of dates throughout the semester.


More information.

** The virtual field trip report(VFT) is a tour of any of the virtual field trips in the lab manual, on the lessons page, or another geological web site that is approved beforehand by the instructor. It should include a description of the site as if you had taken a trip to the site and were writing a report about the visit.

Check the lessons page for links to help with writing reports.


More information.

*** The final exam will cover the 10 assigned lessons and will consist of questions about the exercises that specifically cover the objectives for the lessons. Access informationt will be sent the night of the date shown above.
