1 AP Human Geography This is a syllabus for a two semester Advanced Placement Human Geography course that has been offered for several years at this school. The material covered is based on the AP Human Geography Course Description Booklet published by the College Board. Course Materials There are two texts for this course.

Addition and more current sources come from the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Smithsonian, Time, Newsweek, National Public Radio, PBS, and many sources on the internet. Organization of the Course This class meets three times a week for 85 minutes. The units will include lectures, discussions, projects, papers and exams. At the end of each unit there will be both a multiple choice and short answer exam. In addition some units will require a longer critique of some specific area. To began the course students are asked to take four assigned countries and using online sources give a general view of the ethnic makeup, religion, resources, population and stage of economic development. The countries this year are China, India, Mexico and Zimbabwe They are to note conflicts and to give some opinion of where the countries are heading. As the course develops we will look back with a keener awareness.
