Winter 2024 - This class is a bit complicated I have to say–it requires the ability to really visualize concepts which is a bit of struggle. This class consists of: 2 midterms - the first one is more information based where as the second is more about the understanding of concepts (labeling, drawing). Midterms will consist of a couple true/false questions, some free response questions– labeling, defining, and drawing. Lab exercises - these will be hard–genuinely–my friends and I literally stuck to our TA's side for the entirety of lab towards the end of the quarter. In fact, to this day I cannot look at a stereonet without getting flashbacks. Presentation - you're going to choose a paper about a geologic feature and present on it to your class ( if you don't want to present in front of a large group–choose a time towards the end of the presentation period). Final examination - this will be stressful, I suggest going through the goals for each slide deck and really understanding things conceptually.
