Course syllabus
The program of frontal lessons aims to give the student a general knowledge of Integrated Stratigraphy. In particular, the following topics are addressed: general concepts of Stratigraphy; Biostratigraphy; Chemostratigraphy; Cyclostratigraphy; Magnetostratigraphy; Sequence Stratigraphy; Plate-Stratigraphy; Case studies of integrated stratigraphy. Exercises on stratigraphy from well logs and stratigraphic interpretation of seismic lines.
Prerequisites for admission
There are no specific prerequisites required
Teaching methods
The teaching method of the lectures is the classic unidirectional theory-based method of knowledge transfer 'from-teacher-to-student'. Students are however allowed to interrupt the one-way flow of teacher-student information by triggering debates or requests for clarification. The didactic method of the practicals consists in part of the classic unidirectional teacher-student transfer of knowledge and in part of a heuristic-participatory approach with the creation of working groups at the discretion of the teacher.
Assessment methods and Criteria
The final exam (appeal) consists of a written test. The test consists of a series of questions and/or exercises relating to the contents of the course.
