!10 tips for preparing for Human Geography exams

1. Make connections between the terms: All the terms

build off each other and relate to each other. Challenge

yourself to identify how each term connects to another

!term.

people live in the CBD

and the settlement of the suburbs -Explain how government policy and urban changes led to

2. Form a study group of friends/classmates: Quiz each

!other and figure out ways to remember information socially.

Free-Response Questions -Identify the current internal migration streams in the U.S. (intraregional and interregional) and explain the push/pull

!factors related to each

this class and other classes: How does what you are learning in biology/chemistry relate to what you are learning in Human Geography? How does what you are reading in English relate to what we are learning? What about math? Languages? Fine arts? Great minds find connections

!everywhere!

4. Learn how you learn best: If you learn visually, create a mind map (google it) to see connections between terms. If you learn by listening. Record class and listen to it again or record yourself reviewing the terms. If you are a hands on

!learner, create problems to solve with the information.

5. Look around you: Human Geography is a class that you can apply directly to the world around you. Be observant and see the connections between your world and what we are

!learning.

6. Connect and create: See connections between terms and concepts and create new questions and ways to apply the terms. (For example, be able to connect absolute location to

!places with good and bad site and situation factors)

7. Examples, examples, examples:Think of as many

!different examples of the terms and concepts as possible.

8. Know the story: We learned a big story from hunting and gathering to Whole Foods in Englewood. Be able to tell the

!story.

9. Compare and contrast: So much of making sense of information is knowing the story and synthesizing the information. Comparing/contrasting two things like site and situation or the Neollithic Revolution and the Second

!Agricultural Revolution.

10. Practice reading maps and graphs: Many of the short answer questions will ask you to analyze a map or graph. Practice understanding the information presented in graphs and maps that we have studied so far.

-Describe the causes and effects of urban renewal efforts. Keep in mind: economic changes, demographic changes,

!government policy, and sense of place
