2. Textbook:
Physical geology by Plummer, McGreary &
Carlson, 9th Edition
I will encourage you to use all of the available resources...text book,
class note,
Students generated Powerpoint slides, CD-ROM
3. Exams:
4 exams and it is strongly advised that you take all.
Final exam will not be comprehensive.
All exams
will be taken online (you will need your WebCT ID and Password
to take the exams)
I would strongly suggest that you take the exams on campus.
To help you in taking test/exam
online, you should do the practice quiz.
Course grade will be based on the final exam (30%), any
other two exams (60%),
and reports (10%). NO MAKE UP EXAM.
Your results will be posted on WebCT.
(Grading scale 90-100%=A, 80-89%=B, 70-79%=C,
60-69%=D)
