Textbooks: Earth Science 11th Ed., by Edward J. Tarbuck and Frederick K. Lutgens, 2006, Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, New Jersey, ISBN 0-13-149751-0 Supplemental Textbook Materials for ES 104/105/106 Pearson Publishing Custom edition for the Western Oregon University Earth Science Systems Sequence, ISBN 0-536-70739-1 Drawn from Chemistry for Changing Times, Ninth Ed., by J. W. Hill and D. K. Kolb, 2000; Conceptual Physics, Ninth Ed., by P. G. Hewitt, 2002; and The Earth System, by L. R. Kump, J. F, Kasting and R. G. Crane, 1999. Earth System Science II Lab Manual by the Western Oregon University Earth Science Program Instructors In addition, you are expected to check my web site as a resource for classes: http://www.wou.edu/~brownkI will post lecture slides, answers to in-class activites, midterm key, etc. for your use. There will be at least 12 in-class activities for points in this class, and review questions for homework. The in-class activities must be done IN CLASS to receive points. The lowest two scores will be dropped from your record, so if you miss a few, it will not affect your grade. These are worth 5 points each, for a total of 50 points toward your lecture grade. The review questions will be due as noted in the schedule for this class. They must be turned in ON-TIME to receive full points. Please purchase a LARGE Blue Book to do those review questions as assigned on the schedule. I will be happy to discuss the answers to review questions any day before lecture begins. Do the questions each week, and turn in at the midterm, and before the final exam. Each review question set is worth 25 points toward your lecture grade.ES 105: Earth System Science II SYLLABUS Grading: Letter Grade‡PointsA (100-90%) 400-360 B (89-80%) 359-320 C (79-70%) 319-280 D (69-60%) 279-240 F (less than 60%) 239-000 ‡ Plus and Minus Grades may be given at discretion of instructor Assessments ValueMid Term Exam 100 Points In-Class Activities/homework 100 Points Final Exam 200 Points Total 400 Points Laboratory Grade will be reported by your lab instructor. Your laboratory grade will be averaged (at a weight of 25% of your overall grade) with your lecture grade. A passing grade (>60%) must be obtained to receive credit in ES 105. There is a midterm exam scheduled for February 14, 2006. Bring a scantron form, and expect to also complete problems similar to in-class activities and homework assignments If you know ahead of time that you will not be in class for the mid-term exam, contact me ahead of time to make an arrangement. If you miss an exam without prior notice, please have some written evidence of your emergency situation, or use the proper University channels to communicate. I am understanding, but need verification of each case. Review Questions are due on February 14 and March 16. Do review questions in a large blue book. Incomplete status: You must be passing when you request a report of incomplete. You must sign agreement with me about when and how you will complete this course. Or you may go through official university channels. See page 23 and 24 of the 2005-06 catalog for more information.
