FIELD
TRIPS: A program of weekend field
outings is now being assembled
to
all corners of the Pacific Northwest. There is no
substitute for seeing geology first-hand, so we encourage you to take full advantage of these opportunities.
We’ll be distributing a handout with trip dates and places during the
next few days. These trips are
OPTIONAL and FREE and you even get a little extra-credit for attending
– IF YOU PARTICIPATE PRODUCTIVELY We are even planning at least
one two-day trip – that will involve camping.
The fieldtrip
schedule will arrive here by Thursday, March 31
ESS 301 SPRING 2005 FIELDTRIP SCHEDULE
Fieldtrips in ESS 301 are OPTIONAL. You can earn
“extra-credit” for attending AND PARTICIPATING IN A POSITIVE
MANNER (this means….you look happy to be there…you get out of
the vans and look at the geology enthusiastically…you don’t
endanger your fellow students…and you act as if you’re there to
learn and not just to earn extra-credit).
