A field trip will be held as a regular part of this course. We will travel
by van to several localities in northern New Jersey and possibly eastern
Pennsylvania. The excursion will leave at 8:30 am, and will return about
5:00 pm.
The field trip is a course requirement; it is on regardless of weather,
unless you hear otherwise from the instructor. In case of very bad weather,
we have a museum fieldtrip lined up as a substitute.
We will stop for lunch, or you may bring you own victuals. Wear appropriate
field apparel and bring a notebook and pencil. Those who have cameras may
wish to supplement their field notes with photographs. Be prepared to collect
specimens!
The field trip is a course requirement. If you will not be able to
make the date of the field trip, you may wish to consider dropping the course
early, planning to take it in a later semester. Otherwise, a term paper
or substitute assignment is due in lieu of the field trip for those unable
to attend.
