The course introduces the students to the Earth system. This would include the unifying theory of plate tectonics, Earth materials, rock formation and modification, timing the geologic record, history of the terrestrial planets, history of the continents, life interaction with Earth, volcanoes, earthquakes and exploring the Earth’s interior.
Classes will be done online except for examinations which will be done face- to- face ensuring that proper health safety measures are practiced. Quizzes will be conducted after every topic in order to assess the students’ knowledge. Flexible learning will be promoted by uploading learning resources such as video lectures, supplementary readings, and Powerpoint presentations in Moodle every week. Students are required to submit a project by the end of the course that will encompass the topics discussed throughout the semester.
