GEOG10100 People, Places, Regions
People, Places, Regions introduces students to the field of Human Geography, which is the study of the dynamic relations between people and places. In this module, our aim is to gain an understanding of such complex processes as globalization and development, and the regional disparities in prosperity and inequality that result from these. The discussion will evolve around the three main themes of economic, political, and social actions, all of which significantly shape the spatial organization of human activities. The module will present a general overview of the discipline, provide the opportunity to develop independent critical thinking skills, and offer insight into practical skills and tools that can be applied to a wide range of research settings. Overall, People, Places, Regions supplies the foundation for further, more topic specific, modules that focus on the spatial analysis of political and socio-economic phenomena at later stages.

REVIEWSMODULE INFO
Easy enough module for those who are engaged in current affairs and politics on a regular basis. Watching the news is probably the best study for this module. Do note that there are two lectures a week. But imo it's probably not necessary to go these as long as you have a basic understanding of the concepts covered by the lectures, you should be alright.
