Course Description
This course, found in the Course
Offerings under University Core Distance Learning, is an integrated
study of the scientific method in relation to the theories and
principles which define the earth's formation as a planet and the
formation of the earth's surface through the historical development
of plate tectonics theory.
Students will understand the geologic
time scale in its relation to the rock and fossil records and the
sequence of life on earth and the role of the geoscientist in
today's society. During the course will we be using a website with
links to online message boards, e-mail, online documents,
discussions designed to develop the student's scientific thinking
regarding earth processes, hyperlinks to various scientific sites
with interactive online activities such as models and livecams, and
the use of the CD-ROM which is included with the textbook for
reading assignments.
