| ○講義概要 |
In this course we will cover the geographical elements that make up the UK.Geography is a very broad-based subject,so we can cover many topics and thereby shape a picture of the kind of country Britain is.There will be no set examination,but students will be required to do self-selected projects(case studies).The course will be entirely in English and regular attendance will be required.The textbook for this course is in fact out of print,so I will provide photocopies of appropriate sections from this book,but the bulk of the material will be provided by the teacher.This course involves a large amount of content,so by following right through the year,students would derive most benefit from this class.
