Continuous development of the postgraduate course GEOV360 – Advanced Clastic Sedimentology: Years 2017 to 2021

Abstract

This is a report in the course UPED620 – Basic module in university pedagogics, where I describe the changes I have done to the course GEOV360 – Advanced Clastic Sedimentology over the last five years. These changes include restructuring of the teaching to include much more student active learning, redefined course goals, an assessment strategy that is strongly aligned with the course goals, and a comprehensive student evaluation program. The goal of these changes has been to improve student learning and knowledge retention of the geological skills taught in the course, and to give the students experience in data interpretation, handling uncertainty, teamwork and giving presentations. The purpose of this report is to share insights with other educators who may be able to benefit from my experiences.
