Abstract for the conference program
Knowledge of geologic principles and their impacts on society is critical, yet many students have limited familiarity with scientific processes in general. To provide students more hands-on experience and help student performance, a series of active-learning modules is being implemented in an introductory physical geology course taught at UWG. These activities provide opportunities for non-science majors to be exposed to course topics via techniques and approaches not available in a traditional classroom or typical lab classroom setting.
