Urban Environmental Geography – HW05 Due Feb
3, Wednesday.
SOME CHANGES TO SCHEDULE… refer to the course website
not the sheet I handed out the first day. What has changed? The labs have taken
on more importance as learning environments so I want you to have a full week
to do most of them. In general, assignments will be the chapters of Encounter
Geosystems plus an additional worksheet with question or two about your urban
setting so that we keep committed to learning about cities and their
environmental constraints and impacts.
Three parts to your homework:
PART A.
A system for homework and your atlas. You’ll have a
binder that you don’t take home, and that reverts to me at the end of the
semester. Think of it as a lab notebook. I’ll bring them to class on
Wednesdays. You’ll keep all your assignments and handouts in them. This should
make the turning in of the atlas at the midterm and final much easier and
reduce potential for paper chaos. At the end of the semester, I’ll give you all
the insides of the binder, and I’ll get back the binder. The cover page of the
binder (it has a clear front sleeve) cries out for creativity or at least a
sheet with your name on it, your city… Make such a sheet. I’ll return green sheets to you directly, but return homework to you in your
lab book.
PART B.
Chapter 2 has 17 questions.... do 15 for full credit.
Chapter 3 has 18 questions... do 15 for full credit
