This unit enables students to acquire and develop practical skills with rocks samples, fossils, thin sections and geological maps via an open-access laboratory which students can visit at their convenience over the course of the year. Observations will be recorded systematically in laboratory books and these will be handed in at the end of year as part of the coursework assessment (Pass/fail). Further assessment is via a 3-hour practical exam at the end of year.
