Department of Geography and Environmental Studies Group Assignment of the Course Geography of Ethiopia and the Horn (GeES 1011) Maximum Weight: 20% In this group assignment, target group students of each section should be arranged into specified groups depending on the number of students in the class and the groups must have group leaders. Accordingly, the students should study the given contents and topics of the course in their groups for at least eight hours (four hours per week) which should be facilitated by the group leaders. Subsequently, the students should write on the contents of the assignment to prepare the term paper on the identified titles and the main body of the paper should have minimum of 18 and a maximum of 20 pages. The term paper should have the standard format such as the name of university, the course name and code, list of the group members, table of contents, main body, reference materials etc. with good layout. In writing the term paper, students must try to write the paper in their own words by giving local examples rather than copying from the module and pasting on their paper (it will be checked during the time of evaluation). Likewise, all group members are also expected to actively participate in developing the term paper. If there are problems in this regard, which can be supported by evidence, the group representatives are supposed to inform to their respective instructor for the appropriate actions. In addition, if situations allow, the students are expected to give presentation on their term papers. One of the group representatives will make the presentation and the remaining group members will take part in presentation by responding to the questions to be raised from the classmates and instructor. Thus, students must get prepared very well for the presentations. The exact submission date and presentation will be determined by course instructor in consent of the students. The identified titles for this Group assignment are: 1. Major Natural Resources of Ethiopia (Soil, Vegetation and Wild life) 2. Population Data and Population Dynamics (Fertility, Mortality and Migration) 3. Population Distribution of Ethiopia 4. Population Settlement Types and Patterns in Ethiopia 5.
