Field Course

At the end of the course, students should be able to: 1. appreciate fieldwork is an important geographic activity; 2. identify geographical features; 3. conduct hands-on field exercises; and 4. examine the relationships between and among features.

Eight to ten days intensive field studies designed to illustrate the application of theories, concepts and techniques of geographical analysis. Examples of field study activities include rural land use studies, urban studies, vegetation and soil studies, landform studies and market surveys. It is expected that the students should travel outside the State where the University is located so they can be exposed to different geographic features.
