Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

basic knowledge and main principles used in geology of earthqukes will be given during
face to face learning. These principles will be given during each application. In order
to establish traces of active fault in the field, a field work will be done. A homework
will be given in relation to the field study.

Assessment Methods
