This page is under construction, but see what we have so far. For a General Geoscience credential, the applicant must pass CSET Subtests I (Code 118) and II (Code 119), which cover general science content, and Subtest III (Code 122) which covers the candidate’s area of concentration. A credential in this subject matter area authorizes teaching general and integrated science, and in the area of concentration (Geosciences). CSUS is in the process of preparing a DVD-based review of these subtests for use by its students. For starters, you can download the official CSET documents here: Subtest I description or Subtest I sample questions Subtest II description or Subtest II sample questions Subtest III description or Subtest III sample questions
Geology 3600 CSET Preparation In order to clearly hear the sound please use speakers with adjustable volume control. Once in a video, do not skip ahead or you will lose the tracking sequence and the sound will not match the part of the video being shown. Watch all videos from start to finish, full screen can be used in situations where you believe it will help you see clearly. The numbering system matches that in the CSET standards document, so you can go straight to the theme you are reviewing. THESE VIDEOS ARE WORK IN PROGRESS, SO NOT ALL THEMES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AT THIS TIME.

This is where we still have a lot of work to do. Many video clips are ready, but we need to add them little by little.
Please contact Dr. Horacio Ferriz (209-667-3466) or Dr. Marty Giaramita (209-667-3558), of the CSUS Geology Program, to discuss your plans. They will be very glad to invite you over and help you design a great educational program! You can also e-mail us at hferriz@geology.csustan.edu, or come visit us in our brand new Science builidng at the CSUS Turlock campus (Naraghi Hall of Science, Room 163) |
