Description

There were two purposes of this open education project. The primary purpose was to reduce costs to students of GEOG 2302: Human Geography. For several semesters prior to fall 2018, students were required to purchase Introducing Human Geographies, 3rd Edition, edited by Paul Cloke, Phillip Crang, and Mark Goodwin. This text of approximately 1000 pages carries a list price of $97. A secondary purpose was to implement a Wikipedia Education project as the signature assignment for the course. GEOG 2302 satisfies the three-semester-hour Social and Behavioral Sciences component of the University General Core Curriculum for a bachelor's degree. As a core course, students must complete a signature assignment that addresses the core component area objectives for Social and Behavioral Sciences.
