Students learn sediment description, analysis, scientific documentation, facies interpretation, stratigraphic reconstruction, and collaborative fieldwork through multiple field trips and laboratory exercises. Assessment emphasizes methodological rigour, critical thinking, and high-quality reporting, supported by a comprehensive laboratory practical quiz and mid-term and final quizzes. Learning outcomes cover classification of sedimentary rocks and modern sediments, accurate field observation recording, depositional environment interpretation, stratigraphic cross-section construction, and clear scientific communication through notes, reports, and illustrations.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/sedimentary-geology-course-syllabus/496285/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/sedimentary-geology-course-syllabus/496285.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"supergirl","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-03","2026-10-02",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":52},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What practical research component does the course include and how is it defined?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The course uses a Research Defined Course structure where at least 50% of deliverables involve practical research activities such as problem identification, hypothesis forming, data collection/analysis/interpretation, and communicating results.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What are the main learning outcomes for students upon successful completion?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Students can describe and classify sedimentary rocks and modern sediments, record accurate field observations, produce sediment logs and sketches, interpret depositional environments, construct stratigraphic cross-sections, communicate interpretations via structured writing and scientific illustrations, work effectively in teams, and solve sedimentological problems in quizzes and practical assessments.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"How is the course assessed to evaluate both conceptual understanding and practical competency?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Assessment includes laboratory exercises and field-based assignments, with individual and group reports, practical quizzes, and written mid-term and final quizzes designed to evaluate conceptual understanding as well as analytical and communication abilities.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},496285,1791094928,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":52,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":52,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":144,"preview_page_count":4},962088121634,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_9964176cb1d06d4a9deccf72a44ae3dc","| Expected Implementation in Academic Year (New format) | AY2025-2026 |\n| --- | --- |\n| Semester/Trimester/Others (specify approx.\u003Cbr>Start/End date) | Semester 2 |\n| Course Author\u003Cbr>* Faculty proposing/revising the course | Prof Adam Switzer |\n| Course Author Email | [aswitzer@ntu.edu.sg](aswitzer@ntu.edu.sg) |\n| Course Title | SEDIMENTARY GEOLOGY |\n| Course Code | ES2004 |\n| Academic Units | 3 |\n| Contact Hours | 48 |\n| Research Experience Components | Research DeØned Course (at least 50% of deliverables involve practical research activities: problem identiØcation, hypothesis forming, data collection/analysis/interpretation, result communication) |\n\n| Pre-requisites | ES1003 |\n| --- | --- |\n| Co-requisites | NIL |\n| Pre-requisite to | NIL |\n| Mutually exclusive to | NIL |\n| Replacement course to | NIL |\n| Remarks (if any) |  |\n\nThis course aims to develop a rigorous and practice‑oriented understanding of sedimentary geology by integrating laboratory learning with progressive Øeld‑based investigations. Through laboratory exercises, students will build foundational skills in sediment description, analysis, and scientiØc documentation, while three complementary Øeld trips (for example clastic ornamental rock characterization in Singapore, sediment logging in Sentosa and modern sediment coring at Pulau Ubin) cultivate proØciency in Øeld observations, facies interpretation, stratigraphic reconstruction, and collaborative scientiØc work. Students will apply these competencies in both group and individual assignments that emphasise methodological rigour, critical thinking, and high‑quality reporting. Mastery of core concepts and practical techniques will be further reinforced through a comprehensive laboratory practical quiz and mid‑term and Ønal quizzes designed to assess conceptual understanding, analytical skills, and the ability to communicate geological interpretations through structured writing and scientiØc illustrations.  \nUpon the successful completion of this course, you (student) would be able to:  \n\n| ILO 1 | Describe and classify sedimentary rocks and modern sediments using standard sedimento logical methods. |\n| --- | --- |\n| ILO 2 | Record accurate Øeld observations and produce basic sediment logs and sketches. |\n| ILO 3 | Interpret depositional environments from sedimentary structures, facies, and stratigraphic relationships. |\n| ILO 4 | Construct simple stratigraphic cross‑sections from Øeld and subsurface data. |\n| ILO 5 | Communicate geological interpretations clearly through Øeld notes, reports, and scientiØc illustrations. |\n| ILO 6 | Work effectively in teams during Øeld and laboratory activities. |\n| ILO 7 | Apply course concepts to solve sedimentological problems in quizzes and practical assessments. |\n\nThis course provides an applied introducƟon to sedimentary geology, combining classroom learning with hands-on laboratory work and immersive field experiences across Singapore. Students explore the origin, characterisƟcs, and interpretaƟon of sedimentary rocks and modern sediments, develop skills in facies analysis, sediment logging, and straƟgraphic reconstrucƟon, and learn to communicate geological observaƟons through scienƟfic wriƟng and illustraƟon. The course uses a diverse range of assessment methods, including laboratory exercises, field-based assignments, individual and group reports, pracƟcal quizzes, and wriƩen mid-term and final quizzes to evaluate both conceptual understanding and pracƟcal competency.  \nNichols, G.
