Geography

GEO-2362

Program BS Zoology

Credit Hours 2

Duration 16 Weeks
Course Introduction:
An introduction to the broad field of geography as it is applicable to the general education
student. The course presents the basic rationale of variations in human occupancy of the earth
and stresses geographic concepts relevant to understanding world, regional, and local issues.
Course Objectives:
After studying these course students will be able to:
● Explore geography beyond the map through three critical lenses: the physical world, the
human world, and the interface between these two.
● Gain first-hand experience in collecting, analyzing, summarizing, and reporting data as
they embark upon their own fieldwork using techniques learned in class.
● Differentiate between physical geography and human geography with an ability to
articulate how these two sub-fields intersect with one another
Learning Objective:
Through engagement with the material in this course, students will Understand:
● Earth and its origin
● Composition and structure of atmosphere
● Internal structure of the earth and earth’s forces
● Oceans and configuration
● Ecosystem and environmental degradation

Violation of Academic Honesty Policy:

If any two projects / assignments are identical or partially identical, a zero will be awarded. The
repetition of such kind may lead to an “F” grade in the course.

How to Keep Your Professor Happy:

Class attendance is mandatory. You may miss up to 6 class sessions. On the seventh absence,
you will be withdrawn from the course. As a courtesy to the instructor and other students, be
prepared to arrive at class and be in your seat on time. In addition, please note that each class
lasts for 90 minutes.

Also keep in mind some general rules as given below:

● Cell phones should be powered off


● Eatables are not allowed in the class
● The teacher will not tolerate any disruptive behavior in the class
● The Dress Code has to be observed, no warnings will be given, and violators will be
asked politely to leave the class and consequently will be marked absent

Participation:

Students are required to attend all classes and read all the assigned material in advance of class
(although not necessarily with perfect comprehension). Advanced preparation and class
participation are crucial for periods in which we discuss cases. During discussion sessions, the
instructor generally keeps track of the insightful and useful comments students make. (Any
unproductive contribution is not rewarded)
