The reading must be completed before coming to class on the Tuesday of the week indicated. You should budget approximately 8-10 hours per week outside of class for reading and course preparation. Additional quizzes and homework will be assigned as appropriate, including place-name geography and laboratory practicals. There will also be two on-line assignments during the semester. No make up work will be allowed on quizzes.
Examinations are cumulative.
Make-ups are closed book essay exams, and are much more difficult than the regular exams. Your assignment this semester will be to develop a resource page or lesson plan for an earth science topic from the California K-8 science standards, and to post it as a web page. 150 points Attendance is a required part of the class. Sorry, only registered students are allowed in class. Please call me if this presents a problem.
