Contributions to the workshop program and online resource collection

As part of your contribution to this workshop, you must submit to the online resource collection at least two examples of effective and innovative assignments or activities, plus a syllabus for a geomorphology course or a course with a significant geomorphology component. The deadline for those submissions is May 1. We will choose participants for demonstrations and poster sessions based on your submissions and the information that you provide below.

Workshop Questions

We will use your responses to the following questions to help plan the workshop program and to develop a perspective on where and how geomorphology is currently taught at the undergraduate level and what the challenges are.

Geomorphology in Your Curriculum

Where are geomorphology concepts taught in your department's undergraduate curriculum? (Check all that apply.)

Geomorphology is a course required for a geology major.
Geomorphology is an elective course for geology majors.
Geomorphology is required for a major in environmental science/studies.
Geomorph concepts are integrated into one or more introductory geology courses.
Geomorph concepts are integrated into one or more courses required for a major in geology (e.g. sedimentary geology, hydrogeology, etc.).
Geomorph concepts are integrated into a field course.

What two aspects of geomorphology should be taught in the following core undergraduate courses? We are particularly interested in hearing from you about creative ways that geomorphology could be integrated into the undergraduate curriculum but rarely is.

Sedimentology and stratigraphy:
.
Hydrogeology:
.
Tectonics/geophysics:
.
Structural geology:
.
Petrology/mineralogy:
.
Other courses:
.

How do you teach geomorphology?

What are the critical geomorph concepts that your students find difficult? Do you have effective/innovative ways for dealing with this? If so, briefly explain.
.

What major content-related misconceptions/preconceptions do your students bring to your courses that stand in the way of learning geomorphology? Do you have effective/innovative ways for dealing with these? If so, briefly explain.
.

What topics would you like to discuss at the workshop?
.

What web sites (including online data sets and/or real-time data) do you use in teaching geomorphology? Please list the full URLs below:

Research Release

I have read the Description of the Research Project and Implications for Participation (opens in a new window) or it was read to me. I know the possible risks and benefits. I know that being in this study is voluntary. I choose to be in this study. I know that I can withdraw at any time. I am at least 18 years of age and voluntarily grant permission for the described release and use of notes and comments regarding me in the workshop.

Please select one of the following choices to indicate your level of desired participation in the study:

I consent to participate in ALL aspects of this study. My pre-workshop information, all workshop information, and follow-on workshop information can be used in this study, and I agree to participate in a follow-up interview in approximately 2-6 months which will be audio taped. Video, still images, and audio collected at the workshop may also be used in the research project.

I consent to participate in some, but not all, aspects of this study. Please discuss with us the aspects in which you do NOT consent to participate.

Workshop Product Release

In confirming my registration for this workshop, I agree that any audio recording or images (still or video) made of me during the workshop may be used on the project website, in printed project publications, and in materials developed by the project. I further agree that my contributions to creative works that emerge from workshop activities (e.g., discussions on the listserv, contributions to the web page, summaries of group discussion, etc.) may be used by the workshop series, PIs, and conveners for development of future workshop materials, for scholarly reports, and for promotion of the workshop series. Attribution for original contributions will be made whenever possible.

I also accept responsibility to cover any costs incurred should I withdraw from participation in the workshop after June 1, 2008. I understand that arrangements have been made on my behalf that have associated real costs (e.g. logistics, materials), and in many cases, my early confirmation has secured a place that has been denied to other interested colleagues. Exceptions will only be made in cases of extreme personal hardship.
