Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology, 10e Busch IM | Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology, 10th Edition ( Complete, fully covered)

GENERAL TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED Please consider these tips to help you use the Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology— AGI/NAGT (10th edition) and this Instructor Manual more effectively. 1. Review the lab manual Instructor Resource Materials that are available to you, and obtain the ones you need. You can find these resources online at representative at 2. Review the Pedagogical Model upon which the lab manual is based (page 6). 3. Familiarize yourself with the following resource materials that are available to your students: Pre-lab Videos created by Callan Bentley help students understand how to successfully complete the lab activities by following a clear series of steps. They can be accessed with the QR code on the cover flap of the lab manual or at GeoTools are cardboard and transparent rulers, protractors, grain size scales, UTM grids, and more for students to cut out and use as needed. They can be found at the end of the lab manual. A Math Conversion Chart, Introduction to SI Units, pictures of lab equipment, and a map of North America are available in the Preface of the lab manual (pages xi–xiv). TMYNTM, MasteringGeologyTM, and Learning CatalyticsTM, if used. QR Codes, which provide students with quick access to web sites they need or may use in addition to resources provided in the lab manual. 4. Consider personalizing your students’ learning experience by using MasteringGeologyTM , Learning CatalyticsTM , or TMYN (The Math You Need, When You Need It) remedial tutorials. MasteringGeologyTM is an online tutorial and homework program. Pre-lab video quizzes can be assigned as formative assessments for you to analyze with a variety of tools to isolate weaknesses and misconceptions of a student or class. This allows you to build a plan for intervention and make the most of the time that students will have in the laboratory. Learn more at www.MasteringG Learning CatalyticsTM is pedagogical approach in which students use any webenabled device of their choice (smart phone, tablet, laptop, etc.) to engage in formative assessments (that guide learning) and summative assessments (that are used for grading purposes) before, during, or after the laboratory. You can create or select multiple choice questions for students to answer and/or you can create or select openended questions that ask for numerical, written, or graphical responses. You can build a seating chart, and then use the chart to see what students or groups of students have answered specific items and how they answered them. You can assign questions for students to answer synchronously during class/lab (one question is answered by each student, but all students address the question at the same time), or in a self-paced
