Required text: Updated UW-Oshkosh Custom Physical Geology Laboratory Manual, 2013, 8th edition, Jones and Jones, McGraw Hill Publishers, ISBN: 9780077654092. Note: Used, borrowed or shared lab manuals are NOT acceptable! This version is cheaper than the standard one, and is the only one that is acceptable. |
ATTENDANCE: The hands-on learning provided by this lab is essential to your understanding of geology, and is key to your overall success in this course. As a consequence, attendance and completion of ALL laboratory exercises is mandatory, and a 10% penalty will apply to your lab grade for each lab missed. Labs are informal and involve working with others. Rude, disruptive, and disrespectful behavior, such as talking, text messaging, or talking on a cell phone will not be tolerated and will result in a lowered course grade and possible removal from the course. In order to receive full attendance credit, you must complete your in-class lab assignments to the complete satisfaction of your lab instructor. If you know ahead of time that you will be missing a lab, you must contact your lab instructor before your lab meets to discuss your options.
GRADES: Your lab grade will be based on lab exams, attendance, and homework assignments. You will not receive a separate grade for lab. You must pass the lab (lab grade >60%) in order to pass the overall 102 course.
LAB EXAMS: There are three scheduled exams (see Lab Schedule section below), and expect some unscheduled quizzes. The exams/quizzes will occur at the start of the lab. There will be a lab exercise following each exam.
Special
Accommodations: Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with
disabilities. Please contact Disability Services (424-3100 (voice) or 424-1319
(TTY)) or visit their web site at http://www.uwosh.edu/dean/disabilities.htm for the Universitys accommodation request form and documentation requirements.
Information related to an individuals accommodation request will be kept
confidential.
Academic Integrity: The Wisconsin Administrative Code states: Students
are responsible for the honest completion and representation of their work,
for the appropriate citation of sources, and for respect of others academic
endeavors. (§ UWS 14.01) Plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct
are serious offenses with severe penalties. See the University
of Wisconsin Oshkosh Student Discipline Code for definitions of
academic misconduct and details about procedures, sanctions, and other relevant
information. Specific questions about the provisions in the Student Discipline
Code should be directed to the Dean of Students Office. If you do not understand
this statement, please see me as soon as possible.
