The projects range in scope and difficulty, and this is reflected in the time allotted for their enactment and completion. You must plan to be present on all Mondays and Saturdays. Six of the nine projects involve field work. Prior to beginning each project the subject will be introduced and discussed in class. Projects will be collected when due and graded by the course instructors following criteria that will be distributed or posted before the due date for a given project.
Students have the responsibility to be sure that the criteria are understood.
One field exam and one lab exam will be given. These exams will be oriented toward application of field techniques learned during the course. Letter grades will be assigned on the basis of a comparison of your performance with the rest of the class and evaluation of the overall performance of the class.
