Use of ``virtual'' Field Trips in Teaching Introductory Geology
ÐWe designed a series of case studies for Introductory Geology Laboratory courses using computer visualization techniques integrated with traditional laboratory materials. These consist of a comprehensive case study which requires three two-hour long laboratory periods to complete, and several shorter case studies requiring one or two, two-hour laboratory periods. Currently we have prototypes o...
متن کاملPublic sociology and economic sociology: introductory remarks

متن کاملPeer Instruction and Lecture Tutorials Equally Improve Student Learning in Introductory Geology Classes
INTRODUCTION College introductory science classes are typically the last opportunity that most students ever have to learn science in a formal setting. For that reason, these classes provide unusual challenges to instructors, given the variety of potential class outcomes, the number of topics, the range of expectations that students have for the class, their prior conceptual knowledge, their at...
متن کاملAttempts at Improving Quantitative Problem-Solving Skills in Large Lecture-Format Introductory Geology Classes
We have used a variety of approaches to introduce quantitative concepts into our introductory geology classes, some of which rely on using case studies of local rivers to improve student interest and appreciation of quantitative methods in scientific problem solving. Fortunately, there are rivers in most parts of the country, so these approaches are easily transferable and applicable in many ar...
متن کاملLaboratory Activity to Effectively Teach Introductory Geomicrobiology Concepts to Non-Geology Majors †
We have designed a three-week experiment that can complement any microbiology course, to teach main geomicrobiology concepts for non-geology majors. One of the most difficult concepts for non-geology majors to comprehend is how bacteria serve as a platform for different mineralization reactions. In our three-week laboratory practice, students learn the main principles and conditions required fo...
