College level Science class...your opinion?

Bite me

As a Geophysicist, I've gotten a Minor in Geology. Most classes are conceptual knowledge. A Geologist is meant to do footwork in the field, not sit in an office and crunch numbers or research for a living.

A GEOL 101 course should consist of Mineral Identification, followed by Rock Identification according to its type of Rock ( Lab for Sed, Met, & Ign each). It'll also pack in Strike & Dip notation and usage, topography map reading, and some brief topics in hydrology. But I had to take 104 since I'm a Geoscientist of sorts.

I enjoy Geology immensely. I can tell you that there is little to no math, to boot. But you'll spend a lot of free time in lab memorizing rocks & minerals.

Most amazing jew boots

Pass/Fail is largely constricted wherever it is at. We have it here at Texas A&M but the only courses I've heard it is used in is Kinesiology. And only one of our two requireds in it can be held as Pass/Fail. I don't think you can equate the option to trickier courses. I don't think, that is.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes'm, it is nifty stuff. I'm gonna try and TA 101 next semester ;D Which topic was she screwy in? Strike-Dip? SD notation has a lotta ways but the standard is "Strike, Dip" in order, all in Quadrant-style coordinates. Some folks do Azimuthal but it's easier this way >_> Unless you're hauling around old-school Brunton compasses.

Hey now =p Geoscientists enjoy their alcohol tremendously and oft at times don't care about hecklers. I'M SOBER ;_;

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
