[nabs-l] Inquiring if anyone has taken a Geology course

[Karl Martin Adam]

Hi Jonathan,

I did take a course in environmental geology.  It involved both 
lecture and labs, and I had to have an assistant for some of the 
labs involving chemical testing of the checking what color things 
tern variety and also for the labs that involved looking at maps 
and aerial photographs.  My professor was great and did a lot of 
describing things.  One thing I would say is that it's important 
to get someone competent to prepare your text book and describe 
all the pictures, graphs, charts, and maps.  It's also very 
important to talk to your professor ahead of time and find out 
what sorts of assignments the labs will be.  Identifying rocks is 
totally doable with our four senses, and of course the theory 
part of the class shouldn't be harder for you than anyone else.

Best,
Karl

Hello nabsters,

As part of my Degree, I have to take 3 Science courses. The 
courses I
would like to take are unavailable with my course schedule. I did
however find a Geology course that will fit my schedule.

My question is, has anyone taken a Geology course and if so how
accessible did you find it. How accommodating were your 
professors and
what strategies would you suggest when taking a course like this?

I appreciate all feedback.

Thanks and have a good day

Jonathan
