Teaching in the second semester
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The lecture of geological mapping provides an introduction to the history of geological mapping in Belgium as well as an overview of basics in geological mapping.
Numerous exercises of mapping and drawing of geological profiles are carried out to improve the understanding of the spatial relationship between geological layers.
The fieldwork will focus on the making of a geological profile across formations and structures in the Condroz, on detailed layer mapping as well as on structural geology.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Introduction to geological mapping, learning of numerous mapping techniques and working in the field.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
none
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Indoor practical work on maps and fieldtrips.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
6-7 lectures (4 h each) are given in the classroom. 2 days are spent in the field - transport is by car.

This lecture will contain the usual elements, theoretical parts, exercises, the geological map and report, to be presented at the exam (map+report 1 week before)
Assessment subjects
The exam will contain the usual elements, theoretical parts, exercises, the geological map and report, to be presented at the exam (map+report 1 week before)
Assessment methods
Report and map should be sent by June 10 to HB.Havenith@umiege.be
The exam on June 17 will be foor the engineering geologists, probably on June 18 for the B1 geologists.
All will be on Lifesize : 15 mins before exam the student gets the questions (via email, in a pdf),
to prepare the answers for the following oral exam.
During the latte, s.he answers questions about the mapping report (10 mins), then 15 mins about the prepared theoretical question and exercise (which structures identified?).
