Joint educational activities involving professional geologists, faculty, and students will lead to a better understanding of how geology is applied in the world of business. A list of about 95 people suitable as resources for such meetings is given. (Author/MA)

An introductory college course in which both the instructional staff and students have input into the content has been successfully implemented into a spectrum of instructor-centered to student-centered introductory earth science courses. Grading by point accumulation method reduced the grade threat and induced student responsibility for learning.…

Performance differences were not significant between men and women in Earth Science classes with fixed assignment deadlines, nor were achievement differences significant for women in self-paced sections compared to fixed deadline men or women. Men performed higher than women in self-paced groups, and higher than men or women in other learning…
