Keep the handout because it contains information you will need later in the semester. Keep all returned exams, labs, and other assignments until after you have received your final grade for the class. We try hard not to make errors in recording grades, but we are not perfect. Your class record will be posted on Blackboard, and you should check the points recorded carefully. Please speak with or e-mail the instructor or TA if you must miss a substantial number of classes or labs, or if you are doing poorly with assignments or exams. We will try to help you complete the course successfully. We ask you to provide an e-mail address, preferably one that you check daily. This will be used for class-related matters only. If you do not use e-mail, provide a phone number. However, you may miss some e-mailed notices, reminders, etc. So, please obtain an account ASAP and send your address to your TA.

It is important that you be able to access this site, so if you are not able to, let us know. Log in as MSL111 and the password is oceans. Blackboard: Grades for labs and exams/quizzes will be posted on Blackboard. Students should check frequently to make sure they have been credited with a correct grade for all work done. If you have any problems accessing Blackboard, call the IT help desk at x6564 to ensure that you have a valid email account and that you are using the correct login. Text and Reading Assignments: An Introduction to the World's Oceans, 8th Edition, by Duxbury, Duxbury, & Sverdrup. If you happen to have the 6th or 7th edition, that will work, although some information (e.g., websites, current events) may be out-of-date. Also, there are a few differences in the section numbers, so if you are using an old edition you should simply read the entire chapter that is relevant to each lecture topic. Note that the textbook provides many website addresses to supplement the basic material in the book. These are excellent resources if you would like more information about particular topics. There is also a textbook website from the publisher (McGraw Hill) at http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072528079/information_center_view0/. Students are responsible for completing the reading assignments as indicated on the listing of lecture topics below. Reading assignments will not be announced in lecture. Course Objectives: The course is intended for freshman or sophomore non-science majors, and meets half of the "breadth" Natural Sciences Core Curriculum requirement. It is also a requirement for undergraduate Fisheries majors, and FISH majors usually take this course as freshmen. Students who successfully complete the course will gain a basic understanding of the geology, physics, chemistry, and biology of the oceans, and of the interconnections between the ocean and atmosphere, and the oceans and the solid earth (the continents and sea floor). As a Natural Sciences Core course, the course also addresses how scientific research is done, the historical development of some key scientific concepts, how scientific research can help us to understand and predict human effects on the environment, and how scientists and scientific knowledge contribute to public policy decisions. Note that this course is not intended for science majors (except FISH), nor for people who already have a strong background in the sciences. Most such individuals will find the "depth" Natural Sciences core courses more appropriate and challenging. Course Requirements 1. Exams: There will be three mid-term examinations (one-hour) and one final examination(two-hour). The final exam will be comprehensive; that is, it will cover material presented during the entire semester. Each mid-term exam will be worth 50 points and the final will be worth 100 points. Students may make up missed exams; however, it is the students responsibility to arrange this with the instructor. Arrangements must be made ahead of time for a planned absence during an exam. Exams may be made up during a lab period (not your scheduled lab). 2. Quizzes: There will be four ten-minute quizzes given. Each quiz is worth 10 points. Quizzes cannot be made up 3. Study Guide: A week before each exam, a Study Guide will be distributed. Exam questions will be taken from the Study Guides. Therefore, answering Study Guide questions is excellent practice for the exams. Students have the option of turning in their answers to any 2 of the essay questions (your choice). If these answers are turned in before the exam (see due date on the syllabus), the graded questions will be returned to you during the lecture before the exam. You will get up to 6 extra credit points if both of your answers are correct. We recommend that all students do this, because it will help you to learn the best way to answer exam questions for full credit. 4. Lab: The lab will be worth 100 points, 25% of the total grade. The lab syllabus will be handed out separately in your lab section. 5. Extra Credit Review: Students can receive up to 20 extra credit points for a review of an article or series of articles, or for a review of website(s). Instructions will be available on the course website. The Extra Credit Review is due by Monday, December 11, on the last day of class. 6. Attendance: Students are expected to attend class. During a recent semester, even though there was no direct penalty for non-attendance, the average grade of students who did not attend regularly (present <2/3 of the time) was C-, including 15 "F" grades. The average grade of students who attended more than 2/3 of the time was B+. None of those students received a grade below "C". Grading will be based on your point total for the semester, as follows: Quizzes (4): up to 40 points Hour exam #1: up to 50 points Hour exam #2: up to 50 points Hour exam #3: up to 50 points Final exam: up to 100 points Lab total: up to 100 points Total: 390 points Study Guide Question Extra Credit: up to 24 points Extra Credit Review: up to 20 points Grading scale: 351 points and above = A 312 to 350 points = B 273 to 311 points = C 234 to 272 points = D 233 points and below = F The instructors may adjust the grade boundaries somewhat, if warranted based on evidence of student participation and learning. This rarely occurs except at the lower boundaries for C and D grades. The vast majority of students who fail this class do so because they do not take one or more of the exams and/or do not turn in most of their lab reports. Course Policies: Students should be familiar with the UAF Honor Code, which can be found in the Catalog. All written work, including projects, class questions, exams, lab reports, and extra credit reviews, must be the work of the student submitting it and not copied from another source, such as another student (past or present). The only exception is for sharing of lab results or observations, when specifically instructed to do so by the lab manual or the lab TA. Shared data must be cited as such in the lab report. Incompletes (I) will be given only to those students who have received permission from both instructors to complete course work after December 14 (final exam day). Students who do not have permission to turn in their work late will be given a grade based on the number of points they have earned as of December. Incomplete grades will be changed to the grade you earned as of December 14, 2006 if coursework is not completed within one year. Course Schedule and Lecture Topics: Note: The lecture schedule may differ somewhat from that shown, but we will not change the exam dates unless there is a major problem beyond our control. Dr. Kelley will lecture in the first half of the course, and Dr. Stockwell will lecture in the second half. F 9/1 Course requirements and introduction. What is Oceanography?
