Original Work
Geologic field work is nearly always a collaborative affair, and so it will be in this course. In EART 188 collaboration means sharing ideas and working through problems with your field partners. These problems may relate to field relations, related literature, relating field conditions to regional geologic history, etc... You are also encouraged to share your personal expertise with your fellow students. What will NOT be viewed as wholesome collaboration is working as a pair or a group to produce identical products. That is, you may talk about anything with each other and you may pair up to measure/record attitudes, unit thicknesses, etc... but your final maps, reports, stratigraphic columns, etc... must be your own. Any evidence of copying from peers or other sources will ensure your failure in this course. Field geology is not easy, but struggling, agonizing and beating your head against the rocks (repeatedly) will ultimately make you a better geologist. Enjoy the process!
