​University of Alaska, Anchorage
Geophysics Teacher
Anchorage, Alaska
Posted November 2021

The announcement seeks anyone in the AGS network that might be interested in teaching the geophysics course this spring. We have one professional in town willing to team teach this course with someone if that is helpful to you. A previous instructor has also agreed to share their materials they developed when they taught this course for us two year ago. The details are below. I also attach a suggested course outline. However, not all the students enrolled in the course this spring will have taken structure yet. If you could let me know if you are interested or not by next week that would be great. If we don't find an instructor soon, I will have to cancel the course. 
 
Course: Applied Geophysics GEOL A476/676

Syllabus - pdf
Course Outline - pdf
 
Student enrollment: Both undergraduates and graduates can take this course. There is an expectation that the graduate students will have more advanced assignments or an extra project. I anticipate that no more than 10 students will enroll, probably closer to 5. 
 
Course delivery mode: 100% online. Asynchronous. This means the instructor/students don't meet at a specific day/time. For most faculty they produce materials, such as pre-recorded lectures, which  they then upload to the course site. Students are told how long they have to work through the material. This is a 3-credit hour course so the expectation is that they have at least 3 hours of instruction or instructor contact time per week on average. Instructors would have access to our computer lab and be able to log into our workstations remotely as would the students. 
 
Dates: UAA courses start the week of Jan. 10th. The last day of finals is April 30th. We don't meet or have classes the week of March 7th (Spring Break). That means there will be 14 weeks of instruction plus finals week (no new instruction happens then). 
 
Attached is a copy of the syllabus from the last time the course was taught and a suggested course outline. The exact format and content of the course is not fixed. All that matters is that the course content be aligned with the student learning outcomes for the course (see sample syllabus for a list of those outcomes).
