Course Description

熟悉不同營力下地表地質作用與地形,以對自然環境及其永續性更加了解。 

Course Objective
從地表地質作用討論所造成的地形使學生熟悉地形、地質作用與當地地質特性的關係 
Course Requirement
The class is designed in an interactive mode that encourages the students to discuss with the teachers and among themselves. There may be homework or quizzes relevant to the subject topic given to the students. How the students participate in the discussion and the quality of homework or quizzes turned in by the students will be taken into account as the class performance. The students will be graded on the basis of the following three items:
1. Class performance (including homework, quiz, and field report) 30%
2. Midterm Exam 35%
3. Final Exam 35%

Field trip: 11/24 (Fri) Northern coast of Taiwan (Ludvig Löwemark)
