Each course has a Course Syllabus that is updated for each term delivery.

Videos designed by someone with a different perspective on the topic can be very helpful for reinforcing concepts, or clarifying points of confusion.

Their work will form the basis of a collection of resources to be made available to current and future students in Geology 109.[/spoiler]
