Learning Outcomes
- Design a data strategy 15 matches Design a field strategy to collect or select data in order to answer a geologic question.
- Collect data 18 matches Collect accurate and sufficient data on field relationships and record these using disciplinary conventions (field notes, map symbols, etc.).
- Synthesize geologic data 21 matches Synthesize geologic data and integrate with core concepts and skills into a cohesive spatial and temporal scientific interpretation.
- Interpret systems and processes 17 matches Interpret earth systems and past/current/future processes using multiple lines of spatially distributed evidence.
- Develop an argument 18 matches Develop an argument that is consistent with available evidence and uncertainty.
- Communicate clearly 19 matches Communicate clearly using written, verbal, and/or visual media (e.g., maps, cross-sections, reports) with discipline-specific terminology appropriate to your audience.
- Work independently and collaboratively 18 matches Work effectively independently and collaboratively (e.g., commitment, reliability, leadership, open for advice, channels of communication, supportive, inclusive).
- Reflect on personal strengths/challenges 7 matches Reflect on personal strengths and challenges (e.g. in study design, safety, time management, independent and collaborative work).
