We also will be concerned with the causes and implications of volcanic activity. Specific topics to be covered are listed later in the syllabus. It is not likely that the proposed schedule will be followed exactly. In its present state of evolution this course may not closely resemble that described in the university catalog. Most of our class time will be filled with illustrated lectures, but some time will be devoted to laboratory study of volcanic products and terrain.
Regular attendance is a serious and necessary requirement of the course.
Please be on time. If there is a significant disturbance of late arrivals the classroom, the door may have to be locked after class begins. If missing a class is unavoidable due to sickness, call me before class and leave a message if necessary. In this case we may arrange for you to pick up lecture notes after the class in which they were distributed. Attendance will be recorded.
