Our first test will be next Thur, Aug 23. Please try to give Thursdays special status. In geography class most tests and / or project due dates will be on Thurs.

The material will come from handouts and class notes / web site notes. There will be approximately 15 multiple-choice questions. In the web site archives you should be able to find samples of last year's tests for preparing yourself. There will also be one short essay to be written - for 3 to 5 pts. Short essays are graded on language and logic.

Each week there will be a project that will be introduced and initiated in class. Usually the project will combine written material with a map and other graphics. The value will be 5 to 10 pts and will be completed
at home.

This week's project will be created around a map of Louisiana. Emphasis will be on the Mississippi River and the loss of coastal wetlands.
