GEOG 1213 Students
Note the following:
- These terms come from Economic Geography, Chapters 9-10 & 13-14. A copy of the text is available
on two-hour reserve at Bizzell Library for those who do not have a text. Other terms will come from handouts and outside
readings.
- Study these terms in addition to those listed on your other review lists. Friday, December 12, will be a review;
no lecture will held that day. Students are encouraged to contact the instructor during office hours or via email for additional
help. Some material will come from class lecture only.
- Other suggestions: continue to work together in groups and take advantage of the class listserv. Instructions for joining the
latter are available from a previous update.
- The format of the test will be 50 multiple-choice and true/false questions. You must study all items carefully,
for each question will have one correct answer and three distractors. Your best preparation will be to thoroughly understand the
definition of each concept and be able to interpret a question posed as an example of the term.
- You must use No. 2 pencils to mark the answer sheet. In addition, you must bubble in the appropriate areas for name, ID number,
and test version. Failure to do so will delay in scoring your exam and may result in the grade of I being issued.
