• At the end of the course students should be able to listen and understand   lectures   
• Students  expand /enrich  more advanced  Geology English Terminology
• Improve speaking for communication in professional settings

• Final exam (90%)
• Attendance  and participation (10%)

By the end of this course the students will be able to:

1. Understand teacher’s role as a counselor
2. Understand children and adolescents’ psychosocial needs.
3. Understand how a counselling group is formed, carried out and evaluated. Also they will acquire an understanding of the therapeutic factors and group leader skills that make a group effective.
4. Present the principles of designing and conducting a psychoeducational group for children with various socioemotional difficulties
5. Apply group counseling skills
6. Apply the principles and the methods of evaluating a psychoeducational group for children and adolescents.

By the end of this course the student will, furthermore, have developed the following skills (general abilities):

1. Ability to exhibit knowledge and understanding of the essential facts, concepts, theories and applications which are related to Group Counseling.
2. Ability to apply this knowledge and understanding to the management of social and emotional problems related to school environment.
3. Αbility to adopt and apply methodology to the management of less familiar school problems regarding students.
4. Ability to prepare and carry out a psychoeducational group
5. Study skills needed for conducting a group for children and adolescents.
6. Ability to evaluate a psychoeducational group and make the necessary adjustments.

1. Evaluation of the counseling log, which is handed to the course instructor 1 week before the exams (30%). The mark is given provided that the student has secured at least the grade 5 in written examinations.
2. Written examination after the end of the semester (70%)

For course Field work I the following fieldwork days will be required: four (4) days for the course “Planet Earth”, one (1) day for the course “Geomorphology” and one (1) day for the course “Paleontology”.

The four daily field trips take place at:

1. Kalavrita, Aroanios River springs, Kastria caves (within the courses Planet Earth and Geomorphology)
2. Corinth channel, Sousaki volcano (within the courses Planet Earth and Paleontology)
3. Charadros River – Ortos hill (within the courses Planet Earth and Paleontology)
4. Outcrops at Proastio area in Patras (within the course Planet Earth)

The purpose of the above mentioned field-trips is to help the student to understand the topics of the studied courses, such as:

1. To understand the dynamics of surface earth processes
2. Introduction to the main minerals and sedimentary rocks
3. The water cycle, groundwater, surface water, streams and drainage systems
4. Glacial and periglacial geomorphology, Karstic geomorphology, fluvial geomorphology and morhotectonics
5. Volcanicity: Types of volcanic activity, Magma, Volcanoes and Igneous rocks. Types of volcanic vents, the example of Sousaki.
6. Main tectonic structures such as faults, and the respective extensional regimes that affect sedimentary basins. The example of the isthmus of Corinth
7. Earthquakes and their effect on humans
8. To distinguish and to identify fossils in the rocks
9. To understand that fossils consist clasts of the sedimentary rocks
10. To learn how to extract them from the sediments and collect them properly
11. To familiarize with some of the most important and common groups of organisms we encounter as fossils
12. To be able to associate organisms with specific living environments which can define the respective depositional environments

• Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary geological tools (maps, bibliography, reports etc.)
• Introduce the students to the main topics of Geology

1. Kalavryta, Springs of Aroanios River, Cave of Kastria: Understanding the mechanisms of erosion, weathering and transport, gravitational movements and landslides. The surface water at the springs of Aroanios river, and the groundwater in the caves of Kastria, water. Glaciers and kartification phenomena
2. Corinth, Sousaki: Tectonism with the presence of extensional faults and how these affect the sedimentary basins of the Isthmus of Corinth, Marine fossils. Types of volcanic activity, produced products, texture and rock structure, Volcanic vents and their types, the example of Sousaki
3. Haradros River - Ortos: Sediments and sedimentary rocks, the bedding, the uncomformities, the different lithologies, the plant and animal fossils, the geological outcrops
4. Brick factory at Proastio, Patras: Lacustrine and lagoonal environments, coal horizons, fossils, uncomformities

Students must write for each filed-trip a report in order to prove that they understood in each field trip the demonstrated geological features.

Marking Scale: 0-10.
