There are two summative elements:

  1. A professional logbook details attendance at external professional events. Students are encouraged to reflect on the content of these presentations (20%)
  2. Team presentations on an aspect of the petroleum geology of a region studied on the intenational field trip (80%)

Formative Assessment

There are no assessments for this course.

Feedback

None.
