Muller, Peter O. and Elizabeth Muller Hames. This course will introduce you to the breadth and depth of the discipline of geography. Course Objectives This course is designed to develop an understanding of the character of various regions as influenced by environmental, historical, and cultural forces. You should also end the semester by knowing how to locate each country and main physical features of the regions that we study. Test 4 is mandatory but not comprehensive.
All tests count for attendance .
A higher grade will be based on the degree to which you participate and are prepared. Basically, I will increase the attendance grade by a letter grade for those who participate on a consistent basis. At the end of the semester, I will review for the class those people getting the participation increase and solicit input. Mainly I will want the class to point out those individuals they feel deserve the grade increase that did not get it. 11 absences Policies 1.
