GLS100 Course Outlines


You are expected to learn through both the lecture and readings the material on these study guides. They are modified versions of the chapter outlines provided by the Pearson for the textbook Earth. Changes were made to include material not presented in the text or covered differently in lecture. 

Bring the appropriate topic outlines to class, and be prepared to answer or ask questions regarding the material being covered. While reading and reviewing the material write down or underline what you clearly do and don't understand.

Depending on the direction of the class I may occassionally modify an outline. When studying for an exam check the dates to make sure you are working with latest versions. Especially if you printed them out at the beginning of the semester.
