Course Number Course Title Semester Units Semester Hours GEOL 220 Geology of the 3 3 hours lecture: 48-54 hours National Parks 96-108 outside-of-class hours 144-162 total hours 2. Course Prerequisites None. Corequisite None. Recommended Preparation None. 3. Catalog Description This course explores the most distinctive and intriguing geological features of Americas National Parks. Each park will be examined separately in slide show/travelogue format, with emphasis placed on their formation and evolution. The theory of plate tectonics will provide the organizational structure for the course with each park representing a distinct stage in the Wilson Cycle. 4. Course Objectives The student will: seq level0 \h \r0 seq level1 \h \r0 seq level2 \h \r0 seq level3 \h \r0 seq level4 \h \r0 seq level5 \h \r0 seq level6 \h \r0 seq level7 \h \r0 seq level1 \*alphabetica. Classify, analyze and differentiate landforms, rock types and rock structures found within various National Parks. seq level1 \*alphabeticb. Differentiate mountain building processes as they relate to the National Parks. seq level1 \*alphabeticc. Outline the geological history of selected National Parks and thereby reconstruct the geological history of the North American continent. seq level1 \*alphabeticd. Comprehend the geological evolution of National Parks within the context of Plate Tectonics and the Wilson Cycle. 5. Instructional Facilities seq level1 \h \r0  seq level1 \*alphabetica. Standard classroom for discussions of geologic maps, rocks, and minerals. b. Course management system such as Blackboard. c. The instructor requires web, graphic and video editing software and equipment. 6. Special Materials Required of Student seq level1 \h \r0  Access to a computer with an Internet connection. 7. Course Content Introduction to geologic processes and principles. Plate tectonics and the Wilson Cycle. Climate, water, and other aspects of general physiography. The bulk of the course to be spent on studying the geology of selected National Parks that exemplify the various stages of the Wilson Cycle. GEOLOGY 220 - GEOLOGY OF THE NATIONAL PARKS page 2 8. Method of Instruction Video lectures. Computer applications. Google Earth .kmz files including place marks, map overlays and fly-throughs. Synchronous and asynchronous discussions. 9. Methods of Evaluating Student Performance seq level1 \h \r0  seq level1 \*alphabetica. Examinations - combining objective and essay questions, including a final exam. seq level1 \*alphabeticb. Google Earth project/presentation based on a geologic process or province discussed in class. Objective video quizzes. Participation on a discussion board. Various written and computer-based assignments. 10. Outside Class Assignments Written and computer based assignments covering geologic time, stratigraphic principles and volcanism. Completion of a Google Earth .kmz file showing the geologic features of a selected National Park. Assigned and online research including reading of papers from scientific journals. 11. Texts seq level1 \h \r0  a. Required text(s): Harris, A.G., Tuttle, E., and Sherwood D. Tuttle. Geology of National Parks. Dubuque, IA: Kendall-Hunt Publishing Co., 2004. b. Supplementary texts and workbooks: None. Addendum: Student Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course, our students will be able to do the following: Recognize the geologic features of national parks that categorize their stage within the Wilson Cycle.
