| Description of the modifications to the Q3 2019-2020 online assessment procedures (Covid-19) |
| The course content to be evaluated consist in the concepts and processes described during the classes, described and commented in the podcasts provided during the university lockdown period, and the observations made during the field visits. All the files related to this content are available in the Moodle page of the course. Students will be evaluated based on : - a report written individually, describing the 2 field visits actually made (Quarry in Soignies and Thure Valley). This report must be resubmitted in case the fist evaluation is below 10/20. - an oral examination. This oral examination consist in 3 parts : (1) a discussion about possible geological hasards to be identified on a geological cross-section provided by the professor; (2) a theory question about the processes and concepts described during the classes and in the podcasts; (3) a theory question about the nature and identification of a specific rock. Weighting of the different parts is as follows : - field visit report (in case of resubmission) : 25 % - discussion about possible geological hasards : 50% - theory question about processes and concept described within the course : 15% - theory question about the nature and identification of a specific rock : 10% |
