Course Description
GEOG 1102 Human Geography
Note: This course may be taught as an Online / Distance Learning course. (Course Section: 51)
The Official Description:
This course explores the complex relationships between humans and their environments. We will examine such fields as population distribution and characteristics, health and nutrition, culture in its various manifestations, economic activity, political entities, settlement patterns, resource issues and more.
The Unofficial Description:
Human Geography is about how humans relate to each other over space, how they interact when they are clustered together, and what happens when they spread themselves around the globe. In this class we look at population change, religion, language, food, music, ethnicity, gender, culture, technology and industry, energy and resources. And then we learn how aspects of all of these are uniquely located in the world and how they are dynamically interacting with each other.
