Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

It is conveyed information of principles of sedimentary basin analysis during face to face
learning.
The subjects which have been given in face to face learning have been applied to
during each application. A homework and a field work has been given in order to describe and
interprete the analsis of basin-bounding faults and basin infills.

Assessment Criteria

principles of sedimentary basin analysis given in the face to face learning will be evaluated in
an intermediate exam. In order to understand the basin-bounding faults, a homework will
be given. a presentation will given in order to
establish basin infills..
