Description
This Lab Manual is focused on problem solving and practical applications in human geography. It helps students develop a variety of essential geographic skills grounded in human geography, which they can subsequently build upon in upper-level courses. It also enhances classroom discussion and understanding of major geographical concepts and approaches to problem solving. The workbook emphasizes cartographic, qualitative and quantitative approaches to data collection, problem solving, analysis, and results presentation and interpretation. The modules contain exercises designed for students to carry out in the classroom, field setting, computer lab, and various combinations of these. The workbook also includes case studies that are designed for independent reading and thinking to facilitate in-class discussion.
