Course Objectives:
To develop some empathy for, and excitement about, a fascinating world region. The student should gain a basic understanding about the physical and cultural landscapes of Latin America and the Caribbean. Common place names will be considered as necessary remedial study. This class is conceived as a basic survey course on Latin America and Caribbean geography. Little previous knowledge is necessary but curiosity is assumed. .

Method of Evaluation:
The final grade for the course will be determined by three tests during the semester, plus a final exam during the final exam period. Additionally, internet exercise in the aggregate will count as one grade.

Tests will be given on the following dates:

Grade Scale:

Attendance:
Students are expected to attend class regularly and on time. Students are responsible for all material covered in class. Three unexcused cuts would constitute excessive absences. At that point the students will no longer receive the benefit of the doubt if he/she is a marginal case after the final exam has been calculated. Students are required to tell the instructor in advance if he/she is to be absent from a test. Make-up tests will be given at the end of the semester before final exams begin. Internet exercises will lose one point per day late.
