  1. Earth Sciences Department Program Learning Outcomes & Assessment Rubrics For Geology

  2. SLO 1 • To document, interpret, and map geological formations in the field by outcrop study with 95% of the observable features accurately recognized and located. • (See: USGS Standard http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2002/of02-370/soller1.html)

  3. SLO 1 Assessment Rubric LO: To document, interpret, and map geological formations in the field by outcrop study with 95 (80)% of the observable features accurately recognized and located. KPI: Perform minimum of 80% in any category and earn at least 20 out of 30 pts.

  4. SLO 2 • To use computer software to analyze and interpret geologic data

  5. SLO 3 • To work effectively in teams in order to solve problems relevant to Geology, keeping in mind societal issues such as natural hazards, resource utilization and conservation, and environmental change.

  6. SLO 3 LO: Work effectively in teams in order to solve problems relevant to Geology KPI: Perform minimum of 70% in any category and earn at least 20 out of 30 pts

  7. SLO 4 • To demonstrate effective written and oral communication skills in order to transmit complex technical information in a clear and concise manner, including the use of multimedia tools.

  8. SLO 4 Assessment Rubric LO: Demonstrate effective written and oral communication skills in order to document and transmit technical information in a clear and concise manner, including the use of multimedia tools. KPI: Perform at a minimum of 70% in any category, and earn at least 20 out of 30 pts

  9. SLO 4 Assessment Rubric (cont.)

  10. SLO 5 • To use standard field equipment (GPS, compass, etc.) and optical microscope for sedimentological, petrographical and micropaleontological analyses.

  11. SLO 5 Assessment Rubric

  12. SLO 6 • To write field reports & laboratory reports based on original observations.

  13. SLO Assessment Criteria • To write field reports & laboratory reports based on original observations

  14. SLO 7 • To make stratigraphic correlation, facies analysis and paleo-environmental interpretation.

  15. SLO 8 • To recognize and classify the different structural features within the Earth Crust and identify the conditions that control them.

  16. SLO 9 • To recognize the type, texture and composition of common sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks, in hand specimen, core, and thin section.

  17. SLO 10 • To demonstrate an understanding of the large-scale geologic features of the Saudi Arabia region.

  18. SLO 11 • To estimate HC reservoir properties and assess the HC potential in sedimentary basins.

  19. SLO 12 • Utilize field observations and software modeling tools to develop quantitative interpretations and solutions to hydrologic studies and problems
