You will learn to identify, analyze, and classify major features of the Earth's land surface. We will examine the basic elements and processes of the physical world which make the Earth's surface the way that it is. Earth materials and plate tectonics are covered at the outset. These relate directly to features formed by relatively rapid events such as volcanoes, fault movements, and landslides. You will also learn to identify the effects of more slow-acting processes such as weathering, erosion, solution, running water, wind, waves, tides, currents, glacial ice, and biological agents including human beings. </span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%'>&nbsp;</span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal'><b><u><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Course Objectives</span></u></b></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:normal;'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:</span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.45in;

When you are taking a test in my class, you are not to have a cell phone anywhere within view. Unless there is some exceptional emergency, please leave your cell phone at home, in your car, or with a friend when you come to class on test day. If I find you using a cell phone or looking at the screen during a test, I will have to assume that you are cheating on my test.</span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>&nbsp;<span style='color:black'>&nbsp;</span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b><u><span style='color:black'>Equal Opportunity Statement</span></u></b></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:black'>No person shall, on the grounds of race, color, sex, religion, creed, national origin, age or disability, be excluded from employment or participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity conducted by Valdosta State University.</span></p> </div> </body> </html>
