1 Advanced Placement Human Geography Introduction to AP Human Geography The Advanced Placement course in Human Geography is designed to introduce students to the systematic study of the processes that have shaped the human landscape. Students will embark on a course of inquiry prepared to teach them methods and skills geographers use in their field. This course is structured to the course outline published by the College Board. Goals of AP Human Geography On successful completion of the course, students will have developed the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve the five college-level goals established by the National Geography Standards. The National Geography Standards state that students will be able to: 1) Use and think about maps and spatial data sets. 2) Understand and interpret the implication of associations among phenomena in places. 3) Recognize and interpret at different scales the relationships among patterns and processes. 4) Define regions and evaluate the regionalization process. 5) Characterize and analyze changing interconnections among places. In addition to meeting the five National Geography Standards, students will obtain knowledge and skills that are essential at the college level: 1) Effective writing. 2) Ability to make and defend arguments. 3) Ability to read and critic scholarly work. 4) Ability to analyze and synthesize data.
