Greetings HumGeo students!

Welcome to our site!

This is where we are going to do all our communication about our Human Geography course. I will post what we did in class, links for you to check out, homework assignments, and more.

You will submit your assignments and observations on your blogs.

More on all this in class.

In the meantime, here (as we discussed in class) is your first assignment: The Six-Word Memoir. Set up your Human Geo blog here (be sure to include both your name, and HG or HumGeo or something like that, in your blog title). Then, for your first posting, post your memoir on your blog by midnight Tuesday night. (The magazine article on the Six Word Memoir is on this blog, listed under Hot Links to the right.) This assignment is worth 5 points.

Last but not least, don't forget to subscribe to my blog.

Here's the rest of the story.

What if I didn't give Ds?

Here's an article from the New York times about a school that adopted a "no D's" policy.
