Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

It is conveyed information of principles of paleoseismology 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 presentation has been given in order to describe and interprete the
paleoseismic events in the trench walls.

Assessment Methods

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

None

Assessment Criteria

Principles ofpaleoseismology given in the face to face learning will be evaluated in an
intermediate exam. In order to interprete the paleoseismic events occurred along the active faults, a homework and a presentation will be given.
