GE2220 Terrestrial And Coastal Environments

Taken in SEM 2 AY15/16

Module overview: 
First half of the syllabus contains stuff learnt in JC geography - such as rivers, slopes etc. 2 of the practical assessments were on slopes, 1 was on alluvial plains, 1 was on rivers. (2/4 used google maps). Some of the practicals were rather time consuming (all were 1000 word reports - which was not enough), some required field trips out, some required intensive use of google maps, but all were take home assignments. Got A-/A for all.

Tips for assignments: Make sure to write the word limit for on the cover page, the teacher gives marks for it. Good formatting is also required.

Noted for this module weren't very good (especially when compared to JC notes). You might want to read up on some - can be tested during exams. PM me if you want the textbook, I have the soft copy.
For the exams - key terms are essential. For eg. When talking about river energy its important to mention equilibrium. Again, PM me if you want the feedback from the prof for the exam.
