What Have You Learned?

Now that the class is winding down, take a moment or two to reflect on what was learned in this course? Is there an area of the world that you now find more interesting? If so, why is it interesting to you?

Lastly- what do you think should have been discussed further? Was there something that should have been given more depth? Perhaps there was an area of the world that we needn't have discussed at all?

In either event, I hope you learned new things from taking the course and above all, your sense of curiosity about world geography has been sparked.

Videos

One of the great things about a geography course is that it enables us to watch many videos. Doing so is probably much more effective than giving a lecture or doing a Power Point presentation.

I'm not sure whether or not you noticed, but I tried to show a variety of videos presented by a variety of people from different demographic backgrounds. Not only did this provide more insight into the areas we studied, but I hoped that the different people doing the traveling would provide you with a host of different perspectives.

On that note, of all the videos you saw in this course, which do you feel was the most memorable? Why do you feel that way? Conversely, which video was the least memorable and why?

I look forward to your responses.

See you in cyberspace!
