Course Description: Principles of physical geology. Earth materials, intracrustal forces and products, agents of gradation and their physiographic expression. Laboratory study includes minerals, rocks, topographic and geologic maps, simple geologic structures. Three lectures, one three-hour laboratory, field trips. Primarily for science, math and geography majors. Grading:
Attendance Policy: You are expected to attend lecture and lab. I will not be formally taking attendance; however, exam questions are derived from lecture material. Therefore, students who regularly attend lectures will have a decisive advantage over those who do not. If you miss an exam, lab or the field trip, you will be given a chance to make them up only if your absence was a valid absence. Valid absences are those due to approved College activities (see the College Handbook regarding this policy) or due to illness (email my office ASAP). It is always best to talk to me about an expected valid absence before it occurs, when possible, so that we can work out a make up time. NOTE: taking the SGA bus home early for Fall or Thanksgiving break is NOT a college-valid excuse for missing class. Field Trip:
Disablility Statement: If you are a student with a disability and wish to request accommodations, please contact the Office of Student Disability Services located in B-1 Van Hoesen Hall or call (607) 753-2066 for an appointment. Information regarding your disability will be treated in a confidential manner. Because many accommodations require early planning, requests for accommodations should be made as early as possible.
