Introduction to Oceanography
This is a 3 credit class, which involves a total of 45 contact hours. These will include both lectures and field activities. The material of the class is divided into 5 sections: geological oceanography, chemical oceanography, physical oceanography, biological oceanography, and humans & the oceans. Besides quizzes and exams on material covered in class, you will also be evaluated on papers and presentations that will allow you to further your knowledge of one given topic related to oceanography, and conduct your own independent research project.
