The laboratory periods emphasize empirical methods in geology. Numerous experiments, projects, and a field trip will be conducted to give the student an idea on practical application of principles learned in the lecture. The field trip is conducted to give you better insight as to how a geologist might obtain geologic information in the field. The field trip is normally scheduled during the lab period for labs held during the day. Night labs will be scheduled for a weekend field trip.
Attendance is required by all students.
If night students are unable to make the scheduled weekend trip, they should make arrangements to attend during the day period during the week. A typed paper based on the student's observation and findings in the trip is required.
