COURSE OUTLINE Department & Faculty: Department of Petroleum Engineering, Faculty of Chemical & Natural Resources Engineering Page 1 of 6 Subject & Code: Basic Geoscience (SKA 2213) Semester: 1 Academic Session: 2011/2012 Total Lecture Hours: 3 hours X 14 weeks Lecturer Room No. Tel. No. Email Prerequisite Synopsis : : : : : : Associate Professor Dr. Radzuan Junin N06 101 5535638 [email protected] None: None This course introduces students with the introduction of geology and subtitles of physical geology. The course emphasis on the Earth Physical & Chemical characteristic, especially it’s surface and internal features. Then, turn to a discussion of Earth materials and the related processes. Earth’s internal structure and the processes that deform rocks and give rise to mountains will also be included. Finally, the course concludes with geologic time and Earth history.

At UTM, there is no tolerance for plagiarism or academic dishonesty in any form, including unacknowledged "borrowing" of proprietary material, copying answers or papers, or passing off someone else’s work as one's own. A breach of ethics or act of dishonesty can result in: failure of a paper or exam within a course, failure of an entire course (blatant plagiarism, cheating on a test or assignment), and academic suspension or expulsion from the college.
