All of your work for this class will be uploaded to a shared Google Drive folder rather than using a Moodle dropbox. This should address any upload issues you have experienced in the past using Moodle and makes it easier for me to comment on your shared documents. Please follow these instructions to create and share your Google Drive folder with me.

Guidelines for each lab are provided as links in the schedule at the bottom of this page. Each report should demonstratge your ability to create professional work so that you can continue building an academic portfolio. Many of the labs will require you to interact with new technology, software or skills so please don't hesitate to email me if you encounter any difficulties.

I will frequently ask you to interpret geologic images during in-class slide discussions. These are meant to help develop your ability to develop meaningful geologic 'stories' when presented with geologic landscapes. You are expected to share a Google Doc that summarizes both your observations and the overall class observations. The formatting can follow this simple format.

You will explore two geology-related research topics and produce a traditional written paper Project 1 Guidelines and a second research project in a digital story format Project 2 Guidelines. The latter is very open-ended and we will talk about the various options for completing this requirement.
