Use of Semester-Long Data/Research Projects in Introductory Earth Science Courses part of Cutting Edge:Data, Simulations and Models:Workshop 03:Activities
Semester long research projects as a partial substitute for traditional laboratory exercises have been implemented in two, two-semester long Introductory Earth Science sequences. At the end of each semester of study, students are required to prepare a poster presentation and a short oral presentation of their results. This exercise is to simulate a poster session at a professional, scientific conference.
