Geog 222 Exercises
Last Update: 10/6/08
You need a computer with access to the internets to complete the following exercises.
You may use the Department of Geology and Geography GIS and Computer Mapping Lab
(Science Center 207) for course exercises. If you need help with completing any
of the exercises, please contact your instructor.
Difficulties completing exercises due to computer or internets problems are
not a valid excuse for late work! All exercises have sufficient time
between assignment and due dates for you to find a different computer to use
and/or get assistance from your instructor.
Exercises will be updated prior to assignment, and may differ substantially from
the prior semester's exercises. Make sure there is a Fall 2008 date on the exercise
otherwise it is not updated.
