Enhancing Quantitative Capacity of Geoscience Programs - Session 2 - COSG Spring 2020
Channel: National Academies - Earth and Life Studies
Date: 27/04/2020

What are the core analytical skills needed to prepare undergraduate geoscience majors for graduate work and careers? What are best practices for integrating analytic skills into curricula? This meeting will examine questions such as identifying key skills and how to level the playing field between those with and without research experiences, and will investigate effective methods for teaching analytical classes and how current geoscience curricula may need to change to accommodate more quantitative capacity.

Session 2: What are best practices for integrating analytic skills in geoscience curricula?
