5.1. Methodological overview
The course consists of three complementary parts: theory, laboratory practice and field practice.
The proposed activities are based on the transmission of basic and essential knowledge through participatory lectures. This knowledge is complemented by practical and field activities in which the student has to demonstrate the degree of understanding of the subject as well as a correct application of concepts, methods and techniques used.
In addition, tutorials are a complementary activity in which the student can consult or complete issues.
Finally, different useful material related to the subject is available in the ADD.
5.2. Learning tasks
- Lectures and seminars: They consist on participatory master classes involving a total of 35 hours. Seminars will address some relevant aspects to complement laboratory and field practical classes.
- Laboratory: 11 sessions involving a total of 22 hours. In these classes, students will analyze data taken during the fieldtrips.
- 4 fieldtrips involving a total of 28 hours (13 + 15). In the fieldtrips, students will take the necessary data for some of the practical classes.
- Complementary activities and exercises (personal work, without the presence of the teacher) mainly related to the laboratory classes, and to a lesser extent, theoretical and field aspects. 45 hours.
These activities and exercises will be reviewed, corrected and evaluated by the teacher.
- Querying and study for overcoming the written tests (including examination): 45 hours.

5.4. Course planning and calendar
The course consists of 7 ECTS (175 hours of student work) distributed as follows:
Theory classes (35 h). They will be held according to the schedule established by the Sciences Faculty.
Laboratory classes (22 h). They will be held according to the schedule established by the Sciences Faculty.
Field classes (4 days) coordinated with theoretical and practical classes. The field calendar is available on the website of the Department of Earth Sciences.
- 86 hours of personal work. It includes study as well as implementation of works and practices (20 hours).
- 4 hours of examination. The start time and duration of the global test will be established in the schedule of examinations of the Sciences Faculty and announced at least 3 days before in the ADD and the bulletin board of the Stratigraphy Area.
