The teaching assistants for this class are Amy McMillin (email mcmi7099@vandals.uidaho.edu and Matt Pendleton (email pend5955@vandals.uidaho.edu. Their office hours are 10.30-11.30am (Matt) and 11.30am - 12.30pm (Amy), in Mines 218. Their research office is in McClure 429; however, this location may not be used to ask course related questions (which must be done by appointment or during office hours), only for handing in materials.

You will need to acquire the following materials needed for the labs: colored pencils, a ruler (metric), a set square (for drawing 90 degree angles), a protractor, a calculator with trigonometric functions, scissors, scotch tape, and a drawing compass. These materials must be brought to EVERY lab session.

There will be a mandatory field trip to the Lake Mead region of Nevada in mid-April. We will depart early on Monday, April 16th (exact arrangements to be discussed in class) and will return very late on Saturday, April 21st. We will be camping at the Echo Bay campground, on the north shore of Lake Mead. Please be sure to arrange your own camping equipment. People should be sharing tents wherever possible to lessen the amount of equipment we will need to take with us. Breakfast and dinner will be prepared in camp (cooking equipment will be available). Lunches will be prepared each morning in camp and taken with us in the field (we will not return to camp until the evening).
