GEOL 489 Pre-Thesis Research
This course is intended for junior Geology majors in the process of organizing and beginning their thesis research projects. This course requires independent guided research with one one-hour meeting per week or the equivalent. Student achievement will be evaluated by: 1) weekly progress on the research and by 2) the quality/content of a draft of the project introduction (featuring the problem and purpose of study, geologic background, previous study and methods sections), as well as an initial project bibliography. Prerequisite: permission from the faculty project advisor required.
