Student Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. generate and use base maps, and will understand three-dimensional location data. 2. describe various rocks and locate those descriptions in three-dimensional space. They will utilize skills aquired in prerequisite courses to interpret these descriptions. 3. construct a basic geologic map on a topographic base, and draw reasonable cross sections to determine three-dimensional interpretations. 4. synthesize information and techniques from previous coursework across disciplines to complete geologic field exercises and accompanying reports.
