Earth Sciences Department Program Learning Outcomes & Assessment Rubrics For Geology
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)
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.
SLO 2 • To use computer software to analyze and interpret geologic data
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.
