Geography 152 is an integrated study of the cultural, economic, political, and environmental aspects of countries and regions within Africa, portions of Asia, and Latin America.  Students enrolled in this section of the course have the opportunity to learn basic facts about each region, including ...

  • Where major environmental features, countries, and major cities are located

  • Regional environmental characteristics (e.g. topography and climate)

  • Regional demographic characteristics (e.g. population size, growth, diversity, and distribution)

  • Regional cultural characteristics (e.g. religious affiliation, home language, and foodways)

  • Regional economic characteristics (e.g. GDP, income, and industrialization)

Special case studies about certain issues in these regions will be presented as well.

 

Formal lectures are supplemented and enhanced with photographic presentations, video documentaries, reports from recent news sources, and a variety of reference and thematic maps. In-class discussion and debate are also encouraged throughout the semester.

 

Students are required to complete multi-format examinations, several assignments, and a series of map quizzes.
