Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

It is conveyed information of principles of mapwork 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 has been given in order to describe and interprete the
geological structures found on the geological maps.

Assessment Criteria

Principles of mapwork given in the face to face learning will be evaluated in an
intermediate exam. topographic and geologic cross-sections made in the application will
be evaluated in an application exam. In order to measure the understanding of associate
topographic map with geological map, a homework will be given.
