Note: The number of hours or lectures shown after the course description is an attempt to indicate the “normal”; each instructor determines how often his particular class will meet.
This one term course presents a general review of the field of geography, its scope, approach, and basic concepts. The primary aim is to provide the student with background, material, readings, sources and ideas against which major political developments, international economic relationships, and current problems of the commonwealth and underdeveloped areas may be viewed. Course topicg include: the development and character of modern geography; fundamentals of physiography; population patterns and problems; resources, economic growth and industrialization; the geographic bases of political patterns and events: and urban growth and land use planning.
GEOG 100Introductory Physical and Cultural Geography
This course is designed to introduce the student to the field of modern geography, its methods, concepts, materials and point of view. A major part of the course is devoted to a systematic examination of the elements of the natural environment, (including landforms, weather, and climate), and their distribution and significance in the human habitat. Selected aspects of economic and political geography are then considered, with an emphasis on world resources and the geographic bases of economic development, international trade, and political relationships.
Note: Geography 100. or its equivalent, is normally a prerequisite for other courses in geography. 2 lectures, 2 hours laboratory.
Concepts and principles of economic and cultural geography; emphasis on industrial and agricultural geographym population distribution and characteristics; diffusion of culture and technology.
This course studies in depth selected areas of the world’s climatic regions, emphasizing characteristic problems of these regions as well as their physical, cultural and economic inter-relationships. Amongst the many factors which are discussed are the utilization of natural resources, the effects of increasing population density, the occupance and utilization of urban and rural land, and the effects of man’s tools, techniques, and institutions on the earth’s surface.
