LECTURE: > Notebook of Lecture Illustrations (JMU Copy Center) LAB: > Fichter, L.S., and Poche', D.J., 1993, Ancient Environments and the Interpretation of Geologic History, 3rd Edition, Macmillan Publishing Company, 310 pages. > A Handlens, 10X, purchased from the Geology Club or bookstore. I have not ordered a formal lecture text book for this class. There are plenty of historical geology books available, but most of them are useful for only about half the topics I cover, and do not help at all for the other things. So, because most traditional text books are marginally useful I do not require you to spend the money on one. The required laboratory book is "Ancient Environments and the Interpretation of Geologic History", 3rd Edition, Macmillan Publishing Company, 310 pages. It is available in the bookstore and will be used in lab all semster. Also required is a Lecture Notebook, purchased from the JMU copy center. You will not get though the class without it. Bring it to class every day. It contains all the handouts, overheads, homework problems, etc. used in the class (over 200 pages worth). And finally, because there is no formal text, good note taking is essential. It is very hard to miss classes and get through the class well. Find a good partner whose academic abilities you trust to exchange notes with if you do have to miss class. Return to Geology 230, Evolution of the Earth home page |
