• ESS 499: The Professional Geoscientist

  3.00 Credits

  West Chester University of Pennsylvania

  
  This is the Geoscience Capstone course, which will serve as a culminating experience in which students will synthesize geoscience knowledge and interests that have been acquired, and along with the development of research skills, apply these skills in preparation of a geoscience research prospectus as an artifact for entry into a graduate program or career. Students will orally present and defend a research prospectus as well as related geoscience content and research topics of interest. Students will also develop competency in leading and partaking in whole and small group discussions and performing scenario-based and topic-based activities. Prerequisite:    ESS 499 requires a prerequisite of 90 credits earned overall, of which 18 must come from ESS.
