This information must be provided by Wednesday, September 20, two weeks prior to the first midterm examination. If you have three or more final exams scheduled on the same day, you are entitled to arrange an alternative exam time for the last exam or exams scheduled on that day. Both the midterms and the final will be a combination of multiple choice and true false. However, we reserve the right to substitute essay or short answer exams. Please look at these to get some indication of the types of questions asked.
Many people think that geographers simply study the location of places.
In reality the location of places must already be known in order to study geography. Therefore you will be expected to know where the places are that we study. Similarly, the concepts we explore in this class will be useful for understanding what is happening in the world around you. Therefore, we expect you to know where places are that appear in the news. A week or so before each exam, you will be given a list of places you will be expected to know for the exam.
