Course ContextPlease briefly describe the context of this course. For example:

"This is an upper-division elective course with introductory biology, chemistry and geology prerequisites. It is cross-listed in Geology and Biology, so typically students are an even mix of those two majors.�

"This is a seminar-style, topical introductory course with no prerequisites. The course satisfies the pre-requisite for all intermediate level courses for a geology major. 25-30% of students who take the course go on to major in geology. The course is writing intensive and has a two-hour lab and required field trip."

Course ContentPlease briefly describe the content covered in this course, including geoscience concepts covered, field experiences undertaken, and skills developed. For example:

"This Earth Science course focuses on Geology and also covers topics in Oceanography, Meteorology, and Planetary Geology and includes 4 to 6 field labs that model how scientists examine geologic outcrops. Students make observations and interpretations during field experiences and as the term progresses take on more independence. Students learn the process of field geologic observation and cover content in labs that includes learning to identify different types of rocks."

Course GoalsThe goals for each course are used to describe what students should be able to do after they've completed your course. Your goals may range from content knowledge they should master, to skills in which they should be proficient, or changes in attitude you wish to foster.

Course goals are most useful if they are concrete, have measurable outcomes, and provide clear direction for the course. It is helpful to phrase your goals as Students will be able to� or I want students to be able to�.

Example goals:
In a geologic hazards course, one of the goals is to enable students to research and evaluate news reports of a natural disaster and to communicate their analyses to someone else.

For a course in physical geology, students will be able to integrate different types of data (e.g. topographic maps, geologic maps, cross-sections, stratigraphic columns, photographs, diagrams and/or tables and figures) to reconstruct scenarios that reflect the internal and/or surficial processes that create the widely varying landscapes that we see today and to evaluate potential hazards associated with them.

In a historical geology course, when students are faced with a new piece of geologic information, they will be able to determine how we know this information and what the assumptions are in the analysis.

Please list the goals for your course.
