Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. summarize important hydrological processes and how they are observed by engaging in field labs, completing lab assignments, and answering integrative questions on exams.
2. apply mathematical representation of hydrological processes to make predictions through data-analysis labs and answering questions on exams.
3. explain observation techniques, their applications, and their limitations through engaging in lecture and lab materials.
4. infer the hydrological functioning of small watersheds from qualitative descriptions of settings or through interpretation of hydrological data.
