Geo773: Field Studies (Italy/Austria) - Course Grading and Requirements

In-field Observation Journal and Group Assignment Classroom Presentation
(70% of the final grade = 20% In-field observation journal, 50% group assignment presentation)

While in Italy and Austria, students are required to make observations, reflections and conclusions during scheduled activities and maintain a journal. Independent observations throughout the field trip will be a valuable source of additional information. Together, these can encompass your notes, sketches and other illustrations, summaries, data, collected information, proposals, insights and comparisons. (You should not offer a collection of filler material - brochures and other handouts - collected during the trip; nor provide a transcription of the notes and discussions).
You will be assigned to a group (here will be five groups with each one assigned a particular topic related to the field trip). In total, your group should put together a body of work expressing your insights and understanding of the topic that is assigned. Good presentations will be comprehensive, concise, thoughtful, insightful and perceptive.

You will be given directions each day to assist you in organizing your observations and tips on presentation content.
