GEOG 310 - Thinking Geographically

3 credits
This course seeks to impart a geographic perspective on the world, including the examination of global patterns and networks of economic interdependence. The essential elements of location, site and situation, movement and connections, regional organization, and human-environmental interaction will be discussed to gain an understanding of geographic inquiry. Students will learn aspects of spatial thinking, particularly how people perceive, organize, and remember geographic information. Students will develop and apply a set of geographic skills, with a significant portion of examples being Virginia and economic focused. How geography links with economics, history, natural sciences, and the humanities will also be explored.
