World Regions, Environment, Development. Remember lecture outlines are a brief summary of topics covered in lecture and may not fully represent the material in lectures, handouts, or class activities. The exercises consist of map or data analysis and short written answers. The exercises give you an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of course materials. They will require you to think critically about geographical concepts and how they are applied in specific cases and regions.
Exercises are due in class on the date indicated.
Two midterm exams and one comprehensive final will test your knowledge of material covered in the lectures and text. Possible topics for essay questions will be discussed in class prior to each exam. Attendance is not mandatory, but it is an important part of being prepared for exercises and exams, and being successful in the course. At least once a week I will take attendance or have an in-class activity that will count toward your participation grade. During the quarter I will announce several opportunities for attending a lecture, movie or event on campus that relates to course material.
