Sedimentology and Stratigraphy
Warmups

Web assignments will be a significant part of the course. I like to use the "warmup" concept. Prior to about half of our class sessions, questions will be posted in the warmup section of our course web page. These warmup questions will be based on the reading for the next class period, and must be answered and submitted by each student via the course web page, no later than noon of the morning on the day the class meets.

Each student is expected to do his or her own work. The statement on academic honesty, explained in the syllabus, will apply to these assignments. If plagiarism is discovered, all students involved will fail the course. Credit will be given to each student for making an honest attempt at answering the questions.

Student answers will be reviewed by the instructor, and will form the basis for the classroom discussion/lecture session. Oftentimes, answers reveal misconceptions that can be dealt with during the next class. This is your opportunity to influence the course of each lecture. The warmups are also a great opportunity for you to test your comprehension of our course material. You can also use them as a means of review of concepts prior to exams. Please note, however, that the warmup questions are NOT the exam questions. Get in the habit of checking the course web page daily so that you don't miss warmup assignments.
