Geography 486 - Always Subject to Updates

A sample course schedule is below. It is a guide to what we are doing during the semester, but it is flexible as we adapt to student needs and the realities of unexpected events. Any assignment that is due, is due on the day listed by the start of class.

The offical class schedule is hosted on Moodle, because it provides greater flexibility for students and faculty.
