Where GEOG-4404 counts

Counts toward 5 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • ENV 3-YEAR BA (SUSTAINABLE URBAN ENVIRONMENTS)
  • ENV 4-YEAR BA (SUSTAINABLE URBAN ENVIRONMENTS)
  • ENV HONOURS BA (SUSTAINABLE URBAN ENVIRONMENTS)
  • UIC 4-YEAR BA IN URBAN AND INNER-CITY STUDIES
  • UIC HONOURS BA IN URBAN AND INNER-CITY STUDIES

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course investigates, examines and appraises the major varieties of primary and secondary materials available for the study of urban areas. Particular emphasis will be placed on the acquisition and evaluation of local material, and the course will therefore call for students to be engaged in field research. This course alternates with GEOG-4403(3).

Requisite courses

GEOG-2414 or GEOG-2415 [prerequisite(s)].

Honours Form Required.
