Textbook Required:<br />
<strong>Lab</strong>oratory Manual for Introductory <strong>Geology</strong>, 2 nd Ed. By Ludman & Mashak<br />
Attendance:<br />
REQUIRED. Students are expected to attend every lab session. Two are more<br />
absences will result in automatic failing grade for the lab portion of the course. If you<br />
cannot attend lab due to an emergency please contact me prior to lab. Make up labs might<br />
be available depending on the set up time required for the lab and the circumstances<br />
causing you to miss lab (it will be at my discretion for whether you will be allowed to make<br />
up the lab or not).<br />
Objective:<br />
To apply the principles and concepts you learn in lecture toward critical thinking<br />
questions and activities allowing you to better understand physical geology. <strong>Lab</strong> will be a<br />
combination of assignments, field trips, and tests. Local field trips will take us out of the<br />
classroom to see geology in action.<br />
Grades:<br />
Your total <strong>Lab</strong> grade counts toward 25% of your total Course Grade. I have broken<br />
down grades for the lab into the point system below:<br />
12 weekly lab assignments (each 20 points) 240<br />
1 desert & glacier homework 10<br />
1 rocks & minerals quiz 30<br />
1 comprehensive lab final __50__<br />
Total: 330<br />
<strong>Lab</strong> assignments will be due at the beginning of lab on the following week. Late<br />
assignments will not be accepted. There will be one homework assignment I will hand out<br />
before Thanksgiving Break so that you will be introduced to desert and glacial<br />
environments before the lab final.<br />
I encourage you to work together, however, the work you turn in needs to be YOUR OWN.<br />
By attending UF and enrolling in this course you’ve agreed that "On my honor, I have<br />
neither given nor received unauthorized aid in doing this assignment." All students<br />
are expected to adhere to the student honor code, any cheating or plagiarism will not be<br />
tolerated. http://www.dso.ufl.edu/judicial/honorcode.php

discuss appropriate accommodations. The Dean of Students Disability Resource center<br />
