Communication

In addition to our face-to-face interaction you can expect to receive regular communications from the teacher from within Canvas. Be sure to configure your Canvas profile to receive notifications the way you want to. But in general I’ll be using:

Announcements to send class-wide messages - Click here to access Announcements

Conversations directly from your Inbox.

The Q&A discussion forum for addressing general, class-wide questions - Click here to access the Q&A discussion

Conferences for weekly virtual office hours ( Thursdays 6-7pm or by appointment only) - Click here to access Conferences

In person conversations if I need to discuss a non-assignment issue privately with you.

Modules

Click the Modules button on the left menu of the Home button to get started. Remember, you will be required to move through the weekly modules in sequential order. Once a weekly module is completed, you will unlock the material in the upcoming module.

Text Book

Introduction to Geology by David Davidson. This Book is available online as a free PDF here. You can also view additional course materials from the University library. Aside from the web application, I would also encourage you to use the Canvas mobile applications stay abreast of important course activities. Here is a great resource to review the Canvas mobile application.
