Glendale Community College Course Syllabus: FALL, 2017 Instructor: Wayne Johnson Page 1 GLG 103 Introduction to Geology I: Physical Geology Lab Credits/Periods: 1-credit/3 periods. When taken with GLG101, transfers to ASU, UA, and NAU and may be used toward satisfaction of the Natural Science requirement for AGEC-A & B blocks; AA, AB, some AS, and TG-XR degrees programs. With GLG101 satisfies ASU s SQ general education requirement. Course Description: May accompany GLG 101. Study of common rock-forming minerals, rocks, and maps. Prerequisites: None Section/Time/Place: GCC MAIN: S21581 Wednesday, 7:10-9:40, S21556 Friday, 12:00-2:30p; Room PS174 Text(s): Calderone and Johnson, Physical Geology Laboratory Manual, Spring 2017 edition. GCC Office: PS162 Phone: 623.845.3217 w/voice mail (talk slowly, clearly, and be sure to leave name & number) Office Hours (GCC): Almost any time; or by appointment. GeoAssist: Try calling me at any time, as I am here most every day, all day! Electronic mail: wayne.johnson@gccaz.edu (best way!) Home page: http://web.gccaz.edu/academicdepartments/physicalscience/wmjweb/wmjhome.html Welcome to GLG103! GLG103, Physical Geology Laboratory is usually required in conjunction with GLG101 (Physical Geology Lecture) for full Natural Science credit in most of our degree programs. The lab is coordinated with the lecture classes and designed to give you "hands-on" experience with many of the lecture topics. The lab, however, may be taken independently of GLG101 and is also designed as an independent class. For the next 17 weeks, we will be learning how to identify rocks and minerals and interpret geologic maps- skills that may prove useful in deciding where to buy or build a house, or perhaps find gold or other precious commodities. Course objectives- after completing this course, you should be able to: Identify common rocks and minerals in hand specimen. Use topographic maps and aerial photographs in analyzing the geology of particular areas Describe the geology of particular areas by using geologic maps The outline for the course is given as the accompanying course schedule. Explain the geological processes associated with deserts Identify basic geologic structures shown on geologic maps and cross-sections Identify major tectonic settings on maps of North America and the sea floor Resources and Study Strategies- How to get the most out of this class Geology is a physical science course. Science courses, however, are generally not easy for most people and usually take a bit of work. In addition, we all learn differently. Some of us are very analytical, whereas others may prefer a more "hands-on" approach. Still others may prefer more discussion and visual aids. Handily, there are many resources and study strategies available to you. These resources include: The Lab Lecture- The lab lecture and the lab manual are your primary resources for this course. For most of the topics, I will be lecturing using a variety of formats- emphasizing demonstrations. Take notes well. Ask questions. The Lab Manual- Your Lab Manual has been designed to address the content of the course in the friendliest, most complete, and least expensive manner available. READ IT! Reading assignments for each course topic are listed in the accompanying course schedule (p. 3 & 4). I will expect that you will have read this material prior to coming to class. The lab manual also makes an excellent study guide for potential quiz material. Web based tutorial on Geologic Time, Geologic Structures, and the Interpretation of Geologic Maps. Located at http://web.gccaz.edu/academicdepartments/physicalscience/gjc-nsf/index.html. This tutorial can help you make sense of the material we will cover in the latter half of the lab. Display Cases- Numerous exhibits of minerals, rocks, fossils, maps, and other information are displayed throughout the central common area and outside the east wing of the Physical Science Building. These make excellent study devices by providing further examples of the materials you will be studying in lab. Study Groups- Get together- help each other! I strongly encourage you to form study groups. I do not grade "on a curve" so no one is competing with anyone else for grades. Study groups can be a very effective way of learning and can help reduce some of the stress we may feel when "going it alone". Help on the way! GeoAssist- a program where you can get tutorial help on the course content directly from one of the geology instructors, in an informal, easy-going environment. GeoAssist is a composite of all geology instructors office hours (posted on GCC Geology website) and can either be held in the office or in the lab if available. Bring your questions, confusions, & problems- or just use it as time to practice under the supervision of an instructor. GCC s Center for Learning (CL) - Provide free support services for all students to assist in improving student learning. These services include: (1) Scheduled and "drop-in", group and one-on-one tutoring in most academic subjects- including geology; (2) Multimedia instructional materials in basic skill areas (English, Reading, Math); and (3) Study Skills Workshops. CL location and hours are given in your GCC Student Handbook. GCC s Disability Resources and Services (DRS)- provides a wide variety of services to students with disabilities which otherwise might impair their ability to function in the typical classroom setting. If you have a documented disability, including a learning disability, and would like to discuss possible accommodations, please contact the GCC Disabilities Resources and Services office at 623.845.3080 or email drsfrontdesk@gccaz.edu.

Glendale Community College Course Syllabus: FALL, 2017 Instructor: Wayne Johnson Page 2 Counseling Services- The Counseling Centers at both campuses provide students with career counseling, one-on-one counseling, personal counseling, personal development counseling and acts as a "clearinghouse"- guiding students to the other services available on campus.

I recognize that it is my responsibility to master the competencies of this course and that a passing grade will be assigned only when I have adequately demonstrated this mastery using the assessment tools provided by the instructor (tests, quizzes, reports, or other assignments). I recognize that to successfully complete this course, I may be required to spend 2 to 3 hours of study outside of class for every hour spent in class. This extra time may include comprehensive reading of the textbook, active study and/or completion of study guides, multimedia materials or other resources as described in this syllabus. I am aware of the fact that make-up of exams, quizzes, and or other assignments is not a right but a privilege offered at the discretion of the instructor. Make-up work is intended to accommodate emergency situations and officially excused absences. I realize that it is my responsibility to inform the instructor of such absences as early as possible and that my failure to do so may result in my loss of make-up opportunity. I understand that make-up for unexcused absences may not be offered or accepted. I understand that it is my responsibility to complete outside assignments by the date specified by the instructor. I understand the instructor is under no obligation to accept late submissions. I realize that academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. I understand that the instructor will deal with academic dishonesty as described in the Student Handbook (available from the Office of Student Life). Penalties for academic dishonesty may range from a reduction of points to course withdrawal to full expulsion from the college. I understand that the instructor is under no obligation to provide extra credit. If extra credit is offered and I choose not to do it, the instructor is under no obligation to offer an alternate. I further understand that during class time, it is my responsibility to make sure that my cell phone, pager, and/or any other electronic messaging devices are either turned off or placed in silent ringer or vibrate mode to avoid disrupting the class. I understand that my failure to do so may result in a loss of points from my grade, my dismissal from the class period, or my withdrawal from the course. I also understand that while in class, I am expected to pay attention and participate. I realize disruption of the class with unwarranted talking, snoring, signaling, note-passing, text messaging (or IM), or any other form of inappropriate behavior may result in a loss of points from my grade, my dismissal from the class period, or my withdrawal from the course.
