Bouker In this course pack, you will find a schedule of lab exercises, instructions, assignment coversheets, and other necessary items for Physical Geology Lab. Each lab has a cover page that should be attached to the papers you turn in to your professor. NOTE: Several labs require basic unit conversions and other calculations. If you are in this course, you have already demonstrated that you have the necessary math skills for these labs, even if the type of problem is different from other problems you have solved. GSU offers tutoring in the tutoring center and the Science Department offers assistance with various scientific questions in the “SCIENCE GROTTO.” The Grotto is staffed by scientists from various disciplines (biology, chemistry, physics), but anyone would be able to assist with calculations you may encounter.
