Designed for highly motivated students, this course offers students the opportunity to engage in the systematic study of human geography. Utilizing the methods and tools geographers use in their research and applications, students will be able to: interpret maps and analyze geospatial data, differentiate spatial relationships among patterns and processes at different scales of analysis; explain how complex associations and networks work together to create particular landscapes; define regions and evaluate the regionalization process; characterize and analyze changing interconnections among places. This course is intended to prepare students for the AP Human Geography exam.
