This is not an easy course. We cover a large amount of material in a short time. Past experience has shown that trying to memorize it all doesn t work. Instead, aim to comprehend what is going on and feel free to ask questions. A one-day field trip is scheduled for Saturday March 23rd.
Attendance is a course requirement.
Students will submit a report on data collected during the field trip. Material covered on the field trip is integral to this course and will be included on exams. Given the interdisciplinary nature of geography and this assignment, you will work in groups of three students. Within groups, the individual strengths of the team members should be complementary to facilitate a comprehensive assessment of your study area and resource-environmental issue. The project must make use of information sources such as maps, air photographs, data archives, and published literature.
