Abstract
Brief excerpt from interview: The process of writing something makes you think abou it... Forcing yourself to write something down about it, for most people, cements it a little bit better... I purposely avoid using powerpoint that has text on it so they have to write stuff down... The goals I have are less about the teaching them the specific geo facts of the places they visit. I certainly want them to learn those things, but what I feel is more important is the writing, is the ability to function outdoors, and be able to locate themselves, identify the rocks, plot things on maps, those kinds of things; be independent, even though it's hot and windy or whatever, and have the confidence to get good data that can be described.
