Welcome to Geography 1023!  This is a great opportunity to learn together about God’s creation!

This week, please:

  • Read online notes 6 and Chapter 6 in the text
  • Indicate your readings from last week on Moodle (simple true/false).
  • Lab 3 is due Tuesday, February 4 by midnight.  Print it off.  Complete it.  Scan/photo it and submit it in ONE single PDF file on Moodle.  Please make sure the pages are in order and the pages are legible (if you can’t read it, neither can I).  
  • Make a great contribution to the online discussion group on Moodle by Saturday midnight.  This is a great way to get to know your classmates.  And they are relatively easy marks.
  • We will have a Zoom meeting on Thursday, February 13 @ 6 p.m. AT to help prepare you for the midterm exam.  Please join us:  https://ubc.zoom.us/j/68436731589?pwd=JMKz8fHjLkWYBzINLSWvFN2YGCUOox.1 Passcode: 2025
  • The Midterm Exam is scheduled for Friday, February 21, 2-4 pm on Campus in MH 292.  Students with accommodations, please coordinate with Kenzie Baker. A study guide is here.

I send out a weekly email update/announcement on Mondays. It’s also available here.
